That's exactly what I did. It's pumping air and an occasional drop of liquid. That should mean it's empty, but I just haven't collected enough liquid to believe that it's empty. It's a 24 gallon tank that was full 8 miles ago, and I've removed about 21 gallons.

I'd dilute it and drive on it, but that's how I got into this mess in the first place. I think the bad stuff is sinking to the bottom instead of mixing in.

I wonder if there's some kind of colonoscopy scope that I could use to view the inside of my gas tank through the filler hose without dropping the tank or removing the bed...
