Brad:
I don't think that the 71 tank has a drain plug. In the past I
usually disconnect the fuel line in the engine compartment. Attach an
extension hose, then use the cars's electric pump to move the fuel out to an
approved gas can. I normally put a cheap in-line filter in the discharge
hose to get rid of any rust lumps. Disconnect the white leads to the coil,
so it does not overheat. Used gas is a hazardous material. As previously
posted, the best thing to do is mix it with good fuel and burn it in a car.
My Landrover was perfect for that function. Now I use my lawn mower, and V6
powered GT.
