    "This trick came from @bchrismer." I've heard Bret can be tricky, must be the Stache.

    Take the fuel injection line off where it connects to the motor, put a long flexible hose on it, and stick it in whatever you want to fill and get your kid to turn the key to the on position and it will empty the rascal

    Exactly. I tried to siphon the gas out of my daughter's totaled 2013 over the weekend and honestly considered poking a hole in the tank after being frustrated by that "rollover" valve that prevented me from reaching gas through the inlet... However, I decided I would be mad if I bought a car hit in the front for parts to find out that someone trashed the gas tank... :rolleyes:

    Thanks Larry! I'll keep that in mind, but think I am good now. :)

  5. Well, I now have some garage space and I can actually start putting my 82 Harley back together, all cosmetic stuff. So, the project going away was a sort of a win win situation.
