Re: How do I empty the gas tank?

These tanks do have a drain plug, but it is probably rusted shut. You can clean it with a wire brush and start soaking with penetrating oil for a day or two. Another option would be to remove the fuel line from the tank. Again, clean with wire brush and soak with penetrating oil, tap with hammer, use a brake/fuel line wrench that grips on 5 sides of the fuel line fitting instead of a normal open end wrench.

If you disconnect the fuel line you can also clean that out while you're at it.



As far as getting rid of old gas...let as much evaporate as you can?
