Time to replace the tank on my '92 Accord. Used ones available for
$100.00, and after market new one for $130.00. Will buy a new one and
paint it if it's raw steel.
Any ideas out there as to getting the half tank of fuel out of the old
one before I remove it from the car? Possible to use the fuel pump to
pump it into a couple of 5 gallon containers?
Any other things I should be aware of? bob

Try a pump like

($17)

Do a keyword search for {hand pump} for more pumps.

Tubing may be purchased cheaply at places like Home Depot
and Lowe's.

Wal-Mart has a garden hand pump/sprayer for about $10. You
might be able to rig this for your needs.

Autozone has cheap, Mity-Vac style brake system vacuum pumps
that are worth investigating for this as well.

My 90 Accord has a drain plug! Does yours?
