Siphon out most of tank into approved container.
to drain completely might have to remove tank.
Don't remove a full tank it is heavy and could spill on you.
good luck

SOURCE: I need to drain the gas tank on my 1998 Chev.

Unbolt the bed bolts, remove the tailgate, unplug the light harness, and unbolt the fuel filler where it bolts to the bedside and get a couple of buddies to lift off the bed. That way you don't have to drop or drain the tank. It's much faster, on my truck it's only four bolts and the bed is not that heavy.

Sounds like an injector "O" Ring is leaking

You should be able to see where it it leaking from

If it is the "O" Ring , you loosen the Fuel Rail
(Chrome Bracket) lift it up off the injector to
install new one

Any ideas why a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis would just suddenly stop running in the middle of the highway going 55 mph and w a half tank of gas in it and now turns over but wont actually start again?

first suggestion is broken timing belt
second is failed crank shaft position sensor
third is failed cam shaft position sensor
forth is failed ignition control module
fifth is faulty ECM or power fuses to the ignition, ecm

Can't find radiator drain on 1997 mercury marquis

It may not have one.
If there is no fitting on the bottom or the back side of the tanks, you would need to remove the lower hose to drain it.

Water in gas tank

will need to completely drain tank, either remove tank from car or if has an external electric fuel pump you can disconnect fuel line between pump and engine, connect 12v battery to power supply of pump and pump gas out. make sure to run line to bucket to collect gas/water mix, remember water is heavier that gas so water will be on bottom of tank and first to pump out

My 1998 Mercury Grande Marquis intermittently fails to start. The scanner does not show a code. After about 20 minutes it has started. There are no warning lights coming on. Joe Thigpen, Austin, Texas

Who had the scanner, a repair shop?

Are you talking about a personal code reader?

Have you checked the fuel pressure at the rail?

We need more info
You haven't said what you do have, and what tests
determined what you have e.g. spark,fuel pressure.

Are you referring to the starter turning the engine over
or the engine not running?

Most llikely you have a failed fuel pump in the gas tank

What do you know about the gas nozzles not letting you put the gas into the 1998 mercury grand marquis? It keeps spitting it out and will only let you put it in by hand and a small drizzle which takes...

inside the filler tube that connects fuel tank there is an air vent tube that lets air out as u fill the tank, the tube is made from a very light weight plastic and they can collapse, the result is slow fill or gush back when filling. You will need to replace the vent tube assembly, contact a ford dealer for the right parts, that is the only place other than a salvage yard to get the part.

the switch is originally in the car for in case of an accident, however, if changed, chances are you also have to reset it
