What is the easiest way to drain a celica fuel tank?
pull off the gas return line, empty it into gas safe container and let the pump do the work for you.

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
Why on earth would you want to do that?

Unbolt it from the bottom, remove it and flip it upside down to drain in a gas-save containter; or you could use a pump.

Itchy's method works well too, if you dont mind running it thru your pump. But if there is something dirty in there, you may not want to.

Or you could just disconnect your fuel return line, stick it in fuel safe container, and manually turn on your fuel pump by bridging B+ and FP. smile.gif

But i would still like to know why he wants to do this? Im willing to bet that this is one of those threads where there is a problem with the car that gets incorrectly blamed on "bad gas".
