Hi everybody,


I recently purchased a new 2014 Outlander Sport from a dealership. I purchased this car so I could export it out of the country. I asked the dealership to please leave the gas tank under 1/4 full because that is a requisite to load it on the container. Unfortunately the dealership didn't listen and they filled up the tank. I am wondering what the best way to drain the gas from the tank is. I can't drive the car as it is not registered and I can't add miles to it because it needs to be new to be exported, I also tried a siphon pump but there seems to be a stopper that prevents siphoning. Can somebody please help me out? Any ideas of how I can get rid of the extra gas?


Thanks in advance.

 

the drain bolt at the bottom of the tank.

 

Thanks Akzle,

Can you give me a few more details? Where is this bolt located? Can I access it without having to drop the tank? Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Outlander does seem to have a drain bolt.we need to take fuel out from the top of the tank (from the cabin)

 

i shipped few cars to overseas. Check with your shipper, the one i used told me fuel tank have to be empty or filled all the way up!!!
