IML: Gas Tank Drain

["JIM LORENZEN" <jdlpdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All -

 

Just finished moving my '60 out of the barn to ready it for it's move back home this coming weekend.  A friend has a tilt bed truck (wrecker) and we'll be using it to transport the car the 40 miles back to Portland.  However I will need to move it from the street to the garage once it's home. SO I'll will try to get it running on Thurs or Fri. 

What I want to do is drain the 12 year old gas from the tank and replace it with fresh.  The FSM talks about draining the tank, but doesn't mention how to open the drain on the bottom of the tank.  Can anyone give me some pointers on how to open the drain without screwing it up?

Thanks in advance -
