draining tank after winter storage

JayD · 02-05-2011, 01:25 PM

filled my tank and added stabil before storing car for winter. Is there an easy way to drain the old fuel out of the tank in the spring or will I have to just burn that tank of gas until near empty before filling back up with fresh gas? Slightly worried about the ethinal sitting in the tank for extended periods of time. (although the stabil says it helps prevent separation)

My previous car had a threaded drain plug on the tank

Nothing to worry about, just burn off the tank then re-fill.
