ive almost finished taking off all the bits of my donor sierra for my kit car.

now as the car is in the garage without wheels Etc, and don't have/know anyone with a trailer/winch. im thinking the best way to do this is to just chop it up and weigh it in at the scrappy.

before doing this i think its probably best to drain all the fuel before i go cutting into fuel lines Etc.

now the fuel tank is metal so can't just drive a screwdriver in, and don't fancy drilling a hole, incase of any sparks.

so any ideas?

cheers

well i can't use the fuel pump as ive removed all the ignition/wiring. and i don't fancy attatching the fuel pump wiring to a battery incase there is a spark, and the whole garage and me go boom.

i might have a look at removing the whole tank.

or would it be best to undo the fuel pipe and drain most that way first.

just that little bit worried of causing a spark whilst ive got petrol draining.

i had far too many bad experiances with petrol whilst young hehe
