    Time to replace the tank on my '92 Accord. Used ones available for
    $100.00, and after market new one for $130.00. Will buy a new one and
    paint it if it's raw steel.
    Any ideas out there as to getting the half tank of fuel out of the old
    one before I remove it from the car? Possible to use the fuel pump to
    pump it into a couple of 5 gallon containers?
    Any other things I should be aware of? bob

    Try a pump like

    ($17)

    Do a keyword search for {hand pump} for more pumps.

    Tubing may be purchased cheaply at places like Home Depot
    and Lowe's.

    Wal-Mart has a garden hand pump/sprayer for about $10. You
    might be able to rig this for your needs.

    Autozone has cheap, Mity-Vac style brake system vacuum pumps
    that are worth investigating for this as well.

    My 90 Accord has a drain plug! Does yours?
