I just purchased an 85 GT that has a bad fuel pump and a full tank of gas. Can someone tell me the easiest way to drain the gas out so that the tank won't be so heavy. Thanks

The siphon in the fuel filler tube still works..(I think). It's pretty low-tech.

Yep it does, now what to do with 10 gallons of stale gas??

You can dump the stale gas with waste oil from an oil change.

Its about 2 years old, I wonder if it would be usable if I added some octane booster to it?

I wouldn't use it. Maybe in a lawnmower.

Octane booster doesnt really do anything..

2 years is pretty border line even for well stored gasoline, not sure if I would trust that in any engine I really care about. If for something you don't care about then maybe slowly delute it into fresh gas to get rid of it.

Got any buddies with really thirsty carburated cars? Tell them what it is , maybe they would want to mix 50% with fresh gas and run it.

It's just old gas, don't waste it, mix it in a little at a time with new gas. My car sat for very long periods of time with a small amount of fuel in it more subject to deterioration but it never gave me a problem other than smelling old as far as starting the car.
