    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Good way to empty gas tank?

I want to empty the 10 year old gas out of my gs450tx but I wanna know any tips before I mess around with some rubber tubes and empty milk jugs.

Suggestions?
 
Put a hose on the fuel outlet, turn it to prime. It will all come out but a little bit. Milk jugs are OK, but disposing of it legally may be difficult or impossible. Once it's all out, take off the petcock to get it all out, rinse the tank with a pint or so of new gasoline. Look inside, is there surface rust or does it look clean in the lower parts of the tank? A tiny mirror in the petcock hole will let you see a little of it. Rust happens in the lowest spots first.
 
In very minute quantities, old, water-saturated gasoline makes excellent weed killer.

Theoretically speaking, of course.

just kidding. Okay I will do this method and see what is in store for me.
 
ride it until its empty lol, might be as potent as race fuel after that long lol
 
Please find something a little more sturdy than a milk jug.

I looks OK sitting there, but it won't last long. After a few days, you may notice the sides getting a little softer. :eek:
