gas tank drain plug

SAmr2 · 10-29-2007, 02:07 PM

this is really just a warning to anyone draing the gas from there tank... when the drain plug is out the gas drains FAST! i guess i wasnt thinking but i used my oil drain pan that has a lid on it and a quarter sized hole to catch the gas i was draining... big mistake! the top resevoir filled up in seconds and i was swimming in gasoline!blah old gasoline! and to make matters worse the plug is hard to get back in when it is fully out... maybe im just an idiot but wanted to make sure noone else makes this dumb mistake.
