Hi all

As previously mentioned. In need to remove the 39 gas tank and send out for cleaning. My plan was put car up on lift and attach a 5/16 hose from fuel filter (prior to electric pump) to my 52 pickup gas filler and have gravity do it’s thing. The problem is it’s just dribbling in (btw gas cap was off car to help).

There is a drain plug under the tank. The problem is, I drain that way I’m sure a lot of crap will come out with the gas.

I have lil over half a tank. So I’m thinking....can I pull drain plug and then use pantyhose and then pour in truck tank? I don’t want crap in truck tank.

Open for suggestions
