my 240 i just bought is going to be a long term project of mine, and it will be sitting for a long time(months at least). there is half a tank of gas in it, and i dont want that to go to waste with gas prices this high. im looking for a way to get the gas out of the tank. i tried pulling the hose off of the filter and turning the key on, but that wouldnt work. i think that was the result of me removing the fuel rail and wiring harness. so can i syphon it out, or hotwire the fuel pump?
