Hello everyone i would like to know the quickest way to clear a half tank worth of gas.

A power drill and a 1" hole saw to the bottom of the fuel tank.

ok UPDATE: i ran the car like hell...and i filled with premium...the 87 octane had about 2.8 gallons left and i filled up the other 13.2 gallons of91 octanepremium. now that ive ran the gas to clear the lines and everything would it still work with the 91 tune like this? (sorry for being a noob at this in advance)

No, it won't work. I'm not going to sit here and do the math for you, but you don't have a tank full of 91 octane. And you didn't "clear the lines", you simply filled them up with whatever strange mixture you have in there now.

That's why ALL the tuners recommend running at LEAST one FULL tank of your new octane through before switching tunes.

If you are getting a 91 octane tune, I'd run two tanks just to be sure. When I switched from stock (87) to 93 (pre-blower), I ran a tank of 99, and then a tank of 93, then loaded the tune.

Best of luck with what you're trying to do. I just know if it were my engine, I'd be a little more careful.
