To siphon gas from newer cars, you’ll need a modern pump and hose with a very small diameter, but the principle still applies.

Soaking is a great way to clean carbs, and a lot of the time this is sped up by boiling them. Many people will simply use vinegar or even lemon water to boil clean their carbs.

If you want to drain, get a gas tank, turn your gas tank off, pull the vent line off the carb, stick in the tank, and switch your tank to on and it will drain.

How To Use:

1. Before using, drain all liquid from the hose.
2. The end of the tube must be lower than the pump before siphoning will start.
3. Submerge pump into the liquid that is to be siphoned.
4. Move the pump vigorously in an up and down motion.
5. To stop siphoning, remove the pump from the liquid.

HEET® is a fuel additive that is made for removing water from the gas tank. However, if there is more water in the tank than there is gas, fuel additives will not work. If you do not have the wherewithal to perform this procedure on your own, it is well worth the time to get a professional mechanic to take on the job.

If it has a rough idle, stalls frequently during acceleration, or fails to start at all, your gas has gone bad. Sometimes, bad gasoline will also cause the check engine light to illuminate. You can also tell if gasoline is bad by its appearance. If it’s darker than usual or has a sour smell, it’s probably bad.

Draining a gas tank can be dangerous, wasteful, and messy. There’s a much easier alternative remedy for dealing with bad gas. Burn it out as you drive. Putting the proper additive or additives into your fuel tank may be all you need to burn the bad gas out.

After around 30 days or so of sitting in your fuel system, your gasoline starts to oxidize. When gasoline oxidizes it can gunk up your fuel system by turning into varnish which can coat your fuel system and engine.
