What's the best way to do this? I was trying to syphon it out, using my shop vac to start it but the tubing isn't even getting to the gas.
I had a tank go bad.

you can pull the hose off the pump and use that. Simply crimp the hose, unscre the clamp from the hose into the the pump and away you go.
you can also pull the fuel tank screen. Just hop under the car and you'll see what I'm taking about.

ummmmmmm, take it to your local haz waste disposal center.... at the local dump most likely. My local one takes all sorts of nasties, from oil to antifreeze to gasoline, to paint and solvents - ALL FOR FREE!
Please do not dump many gallons of gas into the earth... call me an eco-freak or whatever but it's just not right.

No No. I wasn't going to vaccum it into the shop vac. That's dumb and would **** up my shop vac. I was going to use it to pull the vaccum instead of, say my mouth, and then pull it off when it started coming.
Also at this point it's not really flamable anymore.
