Title: draining an SV gas tank
Post by: n10sive on June 20, 2009, 08:34:24 PM
I need to work on my SV 1st gen gas tank and I can't seem to get all the fuel out of it. There seems to be about a pint sloshing around in it and it just won't come out. Is there a trick to these things? :scratches head:

TIA

if you were a redneck you would just open the fill cap, light a match and wait for all the flame to extinguish itself ;D
