Syponing gas
Have a 93. My front tank last year was dropped out, cleaned out (it had about 1/4" - 1/2" of tar on the bottom that just peeled right up. And I replaced the pump. The brass float had a hole in it which I plugged with JB stick and that worked (other than the gauge) for about a year. Then the JB deteriorated and stopped up my tank. I dropped it, cleaned out the pump, put it back in and it did it again shortly later. I dropped it drained the little bit of gas put a new float sensor and again I have a stopped up fuel pump. I noticed rust in the bottom and think it is time to retire the tank
Tank is full whatever has the pump stopped up has got to be in the bottom. I want to syphon most of that gas out before it goes bad before I fix the problem and use it (i figure If I let the crap settle to the bottom I can still use the gas if I filter it)
Will I run into an anti-syphon screen on a 93?

Nope just siphon it right out, none of these trucks had anti-siphon flaps on them.

To my knowledge they didn't start putting in the screens until the next body style... but I haven't been wrong yet this week so maybe now is the time! My old '96 didn't have one either.

It doesn't appear to have one, but I could only get 2 gallons out. Something is keeping me from pushing that VERY flexible plastic hose further into the tank. The pump maybe. I couldn't twist such a flexible tube to get it past whatever was obstructing it. I might wind up getting 8 or 9 feet of fuel hose, connect it to the tilter and the rear tank and turn the front pump on and jumper it on. Full time until it drains it. Anyone remember what the jumper config 92-96 is to leave the fuel pump on?
