Default Help, Draining the fuel.

Ok, so right now, dont ask why, but the ocatne in my fuel is wayy wayy to high thanks to some idiot.
I need to drain the fuel out of the tank, I've tried syphing the fuel but the syphon only goes halfway down before it stops.

Whats the best way to drian all the fuel so that i can replace it with regular?

You can go about it a few ways.
1. If you have a fuel pressure guage use it's relief valve to drain the gas into a can while the car runs
2. Dicconnect the fuel lines going to the fuel railand jump the fuel relay to stay on.
3. drill to the gas tank. JK again on this one.

The tank probably has an "anti siphon" block in it.,. just for that reason[:'(]

There have been more & more siphon thieves being mentioned in the news lately,,
