2008 Yaris - Siphoning gas - Toyota Yaris Forums

Update:
I was able to siphon some of the old gas out with a 6 foot piece of 1/4" ID hose and the tip cut at a 45 degree angle (to help in getting past the 90 degree bend in the fuel filler pipe and a possible rollover valve obstruction). Credits to this guy for the specs on that hose:

I was only able to siphon out a portion of the 3 gallons of old gas in the tank so I filled the rest of the tank up with premium. It puttered out at a stop sign after driving a few blocks (probably the old gas in the lines I'd guess) but since then has been driving fine.
