Wasn't to sure were to put this at so put here. The problem is I'm installing my fullblowen hanger now and I have old gas sitting in tank. It's been there for 4 to 5 years maybe longer. Should I drain it. Or leave it. Thanks
 
Recently removed the tank on my AWD and I was surprised how clean it was given the fact that it sat for many years before I got it. So I wouldn't really insist that you drain it, but I would suggest that you fill it up with nice fresh fuel and maybe add some injector cleaner additive. If you do want to drain it, and if yours is an AWD, then you can either hotwire the pump through the engine bay connector and remove the fuel inlet line before the rail and force the pump to spew out all the fuel (not a good idea), or remove both plastic lock rings on top of the tank (under the back seats), and manually siphon it from there. Because it's a saddle-bag type design, there will be fuel left in both sections.

But frankly I'd just pour new gas in it!
 
I got it all drained out thanks guys. Now I am needing a diagram on how to wire the fullblowen to the harness. Anyone have àny clue looked all over already. And the fullblowen website were I can download it is having a error. Thanks
 
Did you rinse it out after draining it, get at least rags and clean as much as possible, ideally you should have taken it down and give it good cleaning to avoid problems later.
Get some denature alcohol, pour it down the fuel lines an blow it out, of course replace fuel filter often.
And another step would be to have your injectors cleaned.
I know that it may sound like a lot of work, some guys get away with it. but have to pay later.
good luck

I will have to do this thanks. I used rags to wipe out but will use the alcohol to with rags.
