Siphoning gas?
Anyone know if there is an easy way? I am supposed to drop the car off today (wont happen) but they need it less than 1/4 tank and I stupidly filled up the other day not thinking...
Gotta drive around the island about 10 times I guess unless there is an easier way.
Thanks.

STi right?
towards the rear of the car if you're looking from under the car you'll see the fuel tank. on the bottom of both of those you will see a bolt (14mm/I believe) just take out the bolt (be careful since you're dealing with fuel) and drain it accordingly. make sure you clean up any spillage since you're right next to the exhuast.. it should evaporate but just being cautious (sp?)
Other way (on most cars) would be to stick in a long clear tube into the gas tank then blow in it to create pressure and it should come straight out (something like that) but you might be tasting fuel like that

I called an auto parts store and they have something I can use to suck the gas out.
