    I was just going to use the gas in another vehicle since it's going to sit for a couple weeks.

    Problem's been solved for a hot minute.

        lol how do you think that you can't remove the fuel that way.....

        like I said, if you take the hose off the fuel pump and slide one on that goes into your handy gas can then its out of the car

            I thought you were talking about removing the fuel from the gas lines to the motor.

              Huh, a couple weeks...there's no need to drain it for a couple weeks. Unless you need the gas that badly...

                  Nope, just add some fuel stabilizer and all will be good for up to a year.

                    After seeing what's in my lawn mower carburetor I wouldn't trust stabilizers either.

                        I just didn't feel like putting $50 worth of gas into my roommate's Land Rover. :)

                        I caved anyway.

                          Had to trim down the coller about an 1/8" to make it fit.

                              That looks like a full size key in that cap. You could probably get the cap re-keyed so that your car key would fit it.
