I had a little time today to get crackin' on the truck. Today's goal: all old fluids out. Thoughts:
- should gas look like ATF fluid?
- I have never seen oil that black
- put on some frickin' rubber gloves
My plan was to drain the gas from the tank and install a 1/4 ball cock valve with two short rubber lines. I did this on my GMC and it works awesome. It is a very simple install.

I pulled the sending unit and whoa baby! it was filthy with a tar black sooty coating. That was foreshadowing for the condition of the interior of the tank.
