You win, your neck is redder then mine.

Which one do you have? I've got a copy of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides again.

not sure we are still on topic here but, how bout just take the tank off and turn it upside-down and pour the gas out? then, leave the cap off with it upsidedown to dry out for a while? just a thought.
