What's the best way to drain the fuel tank on a '93 XJS 4.0 convertible?


I've looked underneath, and don't see any drains. Actually, I can't see the tank from underneath either. I do see some hoses on each side that look like they might come from the tank.


I'm thinking that my simplest and cleanest way will be to syphon the gas out the filler neck. I'm replacing the fuel quantity sender unit.


Thanks,

With my scrapped XJ-S I removed the fuel pump and let gravity work. If not, another way is to undo the hose in the engine bay, hot wire the pump and let it empty the tank like that...

 

That's a good idea! I can pump it out with the tank pump.


Thanks for the suggestion,
Greg
