gas tank flushing

[instro84]

what the best way to flush bad gas out of a gas tank that's been sitting for a few years? its off the car and i want to reuse it.

You'll have to remove the tank === take the bad/old gas to the recycler === wash the tank with SOAP and water... you have to use soap as water and gas don't mix. I just use dish soap. Then rinse real well... and let it dry.

Same name --- but he died bankrupt and I'm still alive and kicking!

I get asked that a lot though... so I'm used to it. Especially around the cars.
