How to drain gas tank? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just FYI. I ended up removing the fuel pump from the gas tank via access under the rear seat and using a harbor freight tools hand pump to remove the old gas. kind of a waste effort though because there was only two gallons of gas in the tank. And I had to buy a tool ($33.00) to remove the fuel pump locking collar. Upside now though is that I can easily do it all again if needed. And with new fuel and oil the car started right up and seems to run as if it had never been sitting for five (not four) years. Now I need to tackle the underside body rust and interior mouse nests and smell.
