1989 Ranger Custom 2.9 L. Has a plastic gas tank, which has a slight crack on top, leaks when its filled up.
Service station needs to drop tank to repair, but wants me to use or remove some gas before they do the work.
Question, I tried to siphon gas, but tube will only go so far down neck, never reaches gas, end stays dry, Is there a strainer or something that is preventing the siphon tube from reaching gas in tank.
Any help is appreciated.
