Draining the Abandoned 1993 40th Anniversary Corvette Fuel System

In todays video, we're going to follow up from last time, in which I succeeded in getting the Abandoned 40th Anniversary Corvette to run temporarily on its own again.
Of course, the car had very old fuel contaminated with water, so I'm going to illustrate how to properly drain the fuel tank and fuel delivery lines so we can get it ready for its maiden voyage through the neighborhood.
Thanks for watching👍

The 77 ya have to drop the tank to get the sending unit out to inspect.. pulled all that crap out to find the gas miraculously was yellow but not bad at all.... Give em hell on the medical side... You got this..

[@VetteSource]

Nice😁. It's comments like these that help me keep my sense of humor👍.

[@vacuumtube1954]

Good morning. Cool video my friend. I hope you have recovered fully. Best to you my friend. Take care and get well.

[@VetteSource]

Thanks, buddy. I appreciate the well wishes👍. This procedure was pretty tough this go around, but I've been working my way out the weeds. Making YT videos and being active definitely helps. Have a great weekend👍.

[@hawke81]

Had a good time watching. It was neat to see what happens in the fuel lines.

[@VetteSource]

Hey brother, glad you enjoyed it. Catxh up with you soon👍.

[@jacksonfive5478]

Excellent video glad you're back 👍

[@VetteSource]

Thanks, buddy, glad to be back👍

[@jimcosgrove292]

Good vidio hope you are feeling better

[@VetteSource]

Hey Jim, thanks for the well wishes. I am definitely getting there. One more trip Tuesday morning to the hospital for the "bonus" dose, then I can start climbing back down the mountain and finish healing. I appreciate all you guys taking the time to comment👍.

[@chrisvolsicka1405]

Great video. Looking forward to the next one. Got any 8.1 videos coming out After you heal from your surgery? Hope you're feeling better

[@VetteSource]

Hey Chris, glad you enjoyed it. I'm definitely feeling better, so I'm working on the 8.1 this week. I should have a video out later this week.

[@makosharkcnc7730]

get better soon

[@VetteSource]

Thanks, Mako. Getting there slowly but surely👍.

[@louie49424]

Ya know watching you clean that tank out I would have tried one of the deck mop from a dollar store that might be easy on your arms good video

[@VetteSource]

That's a good idea. I'll have to try that next time I'm cleaning one out. Thanks for the suggestion👍.

[@louie49424]

@@VetteSource do you mind if i ask a question i have looked everywhere when you install a new starter relay is there anything that has to be done i seen something about useing the Key and the light on the dash is that for the Vat system only seems funny ya cant find anything on the net or youtube thanks Louie

[@timothydecelle3201]

Take it easy man. It would nice to see a video on replacing the outer and inner door felts on the 93 if it needs them? I believe the inner felts would be pretty easy cuz it attaches to the door panel but the outer ones need rivers?

[@VetteSource]

Hey Timothy, will do. Slow and easy as I get into the summer months. Good idea for a video. I am going to use this 40th Anniversary car as a teaching tool since it badly needs the outer felts replaced at the very least.

[@rolandkovacs9343]

Ok,but which pipe which?😅I hope you are ok now!Thx for the vids😊

[@VetteSource]

Hey Roland, good catch😁. I'm feeling better now. Thanks for the well wishes and checking out the videos👍.

[@shawnlafontaine2320]

Thx for the video series, on this car. Enjoying all of them. Quick question... I see a lot of car covers, in your videos. Which car cover do you recommend? I plan to pick up a nice C4 soon, and unfortunately, it will be parked outside. However, I'd like to protect it, the best that I can... So... Which car cover(s) do you recommend? Thx, in advance.

[@VetteSource]

Hey Shawn, I personally prefer the Budge Light brand car covers. They can be had for under $30 at your local Wal-Mart and will hold up for around 6-9 months before needing to be replaced. It's definitely a small price to pay to keep your outdoor stored cars somewhat protected.

[@shawnlafontaine2320]

@@VetteSource thx for the reply! I was able to see the Budge logo, in another one of your videos, and.. That's what I've bought. You've got some exceptional cars, and cover most of them, so I totally trust your recommendation. Also... I've bought my first C4, and I totally love it. It's a 92 coupe.

[@VetteSource]

Awesome, man! Welcome to the club. You'll have great fun with it, whether you're detailing, tinkering, or driving it👍.

[@F1James64]

Hey feel better soon. I just adopted a teal blue green 94 with a six speed manual. Owner let E10 gas sit in it for 8 years and the inside of the tank looks like the hull of the titanic…😂 I removed the tank and did the pool acid flush. Seems to have worked but wow what a lot of work. Fuel injectors completely clogged. Removed & Soaked in lacquer thinner. Seems to have worked. Next challenge is clear coat is 80% gone. What should I do now? Can’t decide if I should color change the car or just repaint in Teal. It’s a very 90’s color LOL

[@VetteSource]

Hey Jamee, thanks for the well wishes. I am definitely feeling better day by day and should be up to full strength soon👍. Looks like you got yourself a great car in an awesome color. Sounds like you were just the person it needed to be properly resurrected, bracuse most people wouldn't put that much work into recovering an "old" 90's car.

[@48Boxer]

Ok this is weird timing. I just picked up a zr1 yesterday that I thought had a bad fuel pump. After pulling the hoses and testing the pump it was fine, but the "fuel" didn't look right. Ran the pump for a while into a gas can and got a couple inches of water. So I have to chase down the rest of the water in the system

[@VetteSource]

Hey Bard, that is funny the way the social media channels work. I believe I saw the post you made on FB regarding the milky water like substance you pulled our of the tank. It's definitely a small world👍.

[@48Boxer]

@@VetteSource nope must have been someone else having the same issue. I don't post on Facebook if I can help it

[@VetteSource]

Yea, I don't much myself. Too weird how the social media sites seem to cross reference each other even though they're technically "competitors"

[@willefixit]

i changed a fuel tank on a 93 big job..

[@VetteSource]

For sure, you better pencil out the afternoon at the very least😁.

[@benmiller5015]

Dude! What are you doing? Get in the house n relax n heal up you stubborn ol dog lol. I hope your ol lady whooped you when she caught you out working on the 93 vette lol

[@VetteSource]

🤣, she was probably happy to see me moving around. When I sit for too long, I just get grumpy. Of course, what you didn't see was that this video took me several days to complete, unlike the 1 or 2 hours it normally would have😁.

[@benmiller5015]

@@VetteSource well I'm glad you're taking it slow n not pushing yourself. N you're prolly right about the ol lady lol it was prolly her idea as an excuse to get you out of her hair for a bit lol

[@VetteSource]

Oh yea, we've been married long enough she doesn't mind the occasional break from the guy that is me😁.

[@Freedom1776usa]

there is no specific reason a fuel system on a corvette would cause the fuel to turn milky white vs some other car unless you talking about the milk supplemental fuel injection system, special on the 40th Annv. I have not come across one of these yet.

[@VetteSource]

Milk supplemental. You'll have to tell me more about that.
