Yeah I have not smelt the gas yet but I have a uncle that has been working on his fox for awhile but just doesn’t know if there is something blocking it to where we could Siphon the gas out if so I’ll drop the tank or if I could just stick a hose down into the tank and pump it outSiphon?
If you do not want to run the old gas through the stock pump and filter, siphoning is the other way. How strong of varnish does the fuel smell? If it’s really rotten and there is not a lot, I’d siphon it and drop the tank for an inspection and flush. I would not drop a tank more than 1/4 full by myself again. Gas is heavy by the gallon.
If the fuel is just stale, using the Schrader valve and using the in tank fuel pump would be a test of the pump.

It also doesn’t run and needs a new batteryYeah I have not smelt the gas yet but I have a uncle that has been working on his fox for awhile but just doesn’t know if there is something blocking it to where we could Siphon the gas out if so I’ll drop the tank or if I could just stick a hose down into the tank and pump it out
The car doesn’t run and needs a new battery so I don’t know if there’s a way I can check if it has any gas in it but my real question is if there is something blocking me from sticking a hose from where you pump gas into or if there’s is not and I can just put a hose down in it and pump and siphon it out'funnel it out' don't know what that means. Really, all you gotta do is pull the schrader valve out, attach an hose to the nipple and jump the test port. As long as you have a good battery and the fuel pump works, that's the easiest way I know.
I'm not the brightest bulb in the room and I'm guessing someone knows another way.
After 10 years there may not be any fuel left in there.
So I will need to drop the gas tank at the back of the car to get all the gas outYes, at the bottom of the gas fill tube there is a piece of tin that is at an angle to prevent fuel slosh up the pipe and prevent a siphon hose from going into the tank.
Dropping the tank is not as bad as it sounds. Just make sure you have it supported, and you loosen the filler neck connections.So I will need to drop the gas tank at the back of the car to get all the gas out
Evintho,Throw together a fuel tank cradle. Dirt cheap, easy to build and allows one person to remove or install a Mustang tank even if it's full of fuel!
