The 914 has been sitting for a few years.... has about a half tank of old premium fuel guessing around 5 years old.
Drain tank into gas cans, but whats the best way to get rid of it? I got no lawn mower to feed it to... and letting it evaporate isnt exactly EPA friendly lol. Fuel lines and carbs - how much fun am I going to have cleaning all this out? Best practices on cleaning lines and tank? Fun fun fun.... |

dump gas, replace lines, soak injectors in Tektron overnight.
If the tank is not to rusted I just put about 1/2 a gallong of laquer thinner in there with a small 2 foot piece of chain. Cover the top with duct tape and start shaking it around to get all the loose sludge mixed into the thinner...the chain is to get the rust loose. Chain is easier to get back out than loose nuts and bolts or rocks... For the fuel, evaporation is the easiest, but in your state there should be a hazerdous waste drop off you will need to use.
