The gasoline tank will would desire to be got rid of and drained. After it quite is been re-put in the gasoline pump basically runs for 8 -10 seconds while the hiya is twisted one click previously the start place. The gasoline strains will would desire to be drained and gasoline rail blead-out on the engine. We hate admit this yet a Chevrolet or GMC broking is the final place to have this accomplished, except you comprehend an enormously sharp *deepest mechanic. Too undesirable the Nit Wit engineers chosen to eliminate the exterior drain plugs on gasoline tanks at present. regardless of what you have examine above, it fairly is a actuality the kerosene interior the gas will extensively shorten the existence of your costly catalytic converter. do not rigidity the automobile. Have it transported on a flat mattress to who ever is going to do the artwork.

kerosene should not do much to the fuel system, but it can do things to the cat.a quarter of a gallon should not be noticeable.

drain the tank, its not worth destroying the engine if you can drop the tank and clean it cause that stuff could easily mess up a lot of different things

You need to drain it. If you don't you risk clogging and damaging the fuel system. NOTE These idiots suggesting it is fine have nothing to lose when your car malfunctions.

put more gas(at least 5 gallons) and drive it.
