Thanks for your suggestions. I bought a siphon hose that incorporates a small hand pump and plan to try that first at the tank. If that fails, I will have to go to the fuel pump end and try there. I run aviation gas, so there isn’t any ethanol in the gas.
I agree that an empty fuel tank is more volatile than a full one. I recall that back in the 80’s, there was a large fire in a Chicago parking garage that was constructed below grade. Difficult to control, many cars blew up because of ruptured gas tanks.
Their 1/4 full rule may be because of that event?
Either way, wish I had known before I prepared for winter storage. Full tank with Stable, no condensation rule. Fighting Minnesota weather further complicates the situation and my car is in the trailer ready for the show!! Bitch and complain!!
Look forward to a great show!!

Get yourself the siphon hose in the attached picture and never again have anxiety over moving gasoline from one container to another. This is how I dose my relics with race gas. Really is better than most sliced bread.

Seems like a partially full tank would be more dangerous than a full one. I guess you need to drive around the block a few times to use it up.
One way to siphon from the tank is to unhook the rubber line where it attaches to the fuel pump from the tank and siphon from there.
Thanks Noel for the acknowledgment, we are really looking forward to attending MCACN. There are several members of Midwest Mopars who are also attending. My main concern at the present time is getting 12 gallons of gas out of my Dart. The 1/4 tank or
less of gas rule surprised me. Difficult to siphon gas out of that gas tank by prior experience.
See you at the show. Mike Paipal

Absolutely!
I arrive Thursday evening, my car, with luck on Friday. I am a Chicago native though I’ve not been back since before Covid, so I’m excited. We all need to hook up.

The great MCACN Show is less than 3 weeks away - Saturday November 18th and Sunday November 19th, on Rosemont, IL, a few minutes from O'Hare Airport.
Several of us Club members will be at MCACN on Saturday. Along with your '61 ram inducted Savoy, our 300 Club members Mike Paipal (Bob Jasinski's brother-in-law) is displaying his '62 Dart MaxWedge
and Joe Jordan will be unveiling his new '70 Road Runner convertible. And there may be more.
Let us know if you'd like to hook up with us at the show.
Ataboy Noah! You even have your air cleaners properly positioned. Hope you can stop by MCACN at the Rosemont in a few weeks. I’ll be there with my 61 Savoy and its Ram Induction.
In case you don’t receive Hemmings Muscle Machines, here’s what Jamie’s referencing -

And here also is an unexpected post to Facebook a few days ago by Lectric Limited, our spark plug wire shop recommended by Gil Cunningham years ago - - -
Noel, one of our repeat customers, just wanted to "freshen-up" the engine compartment of his 1960 Chrysler 300F. So, he stopped by our manufacturing facility to buy another set of our reproduction spark plug wires. Noel said that his car is a "driver" which
he loves to drive across the country - so much so that he put 9,000 miles on it this year alone. Nice ride!
