I intended to remove the engine today, but only got as far as the gas tank. Still, it's visible progress, which is pretty cool.
Advice for people who want to try it:
- Get a big (maybe 5 gallon) gas can. Mine was only a gallon, so I had to empty it into my car a few times and monitor it closely.
- Get some ventilation. I only opened the garage door after it started getting stinky. It would have been smarter to start with it open.
- Drain the fuel into your gas can. Don't forget to leave the petcock closed until you're ready. Also, it will drain pretty slowly, so try to set it up so that you don't have to hold it.
- Remove the tank. There will probably still be a little gas left, and you'll probably spill some (but not much). Be ready to tip the tank into a position so that it stops leaking once you have it off.
- Drain any remaining fuel into gas can.
