I was working on the car tonight and a gave a slightly persuasive tap on the drum with a hammer and I heard a loud bang. Next think I know I could smell gas. Looks like the vibrations finally made the 36 year old rust break.
Off to Canadian Tire I go to get something to drain the tank with in a hurry because I don't want to wake up with the house on fire. I was gonna buy normal gas cans but I saw these military style ones and could not resist. Less practical for what I'm doing but they have the same capacity and were the same price $19.99/each.
Next I need something to actually do the draining with. Yes I could of got a $2 piece of hose and siphoned it by mouth. But I'm slightly more sophisticated than that so I got a Flo n'go hand operated gas pump $29.99.
Now it's time to drain I had just put in $30.00 the last time I drove it so that means I had about 40 litres I needed to drain.

Well since you need to drop the tank, might as well swap the entire fuel system and install a 4BT!

My inner gearhead could not fathom spending the same amount of money for plane jane gas cans when you can get the ultra cool Military style ones for EXACTLY the same amount.

No need for a new tank, it's just low on rust. Top up the rust level and you'll be fine.
