I purchased a roller several months back and have been amassing parts to put it back together. Well, it looks like the car will be going back together this weekend, but I don't trust what if any of the fuel thats in it.
I would like to completely empty the fuel tank and fill it with new gas to ensure everything is kosher. What is the best way to do this? Should I just drop the rear end and pull the tank out, or is there some type of siphon kit that will completely empty the tank? Any help is appreciated.

I would siphon it low and then cycle the key to the on point to turn on the fuel pump. It will prime the pump and get it completely empty if you can't do so with the siphon. It doesn't cycle much fuel so it may take a while.
You could also undo the fuel rail connection for incoming fuel, put voltage to the pump to keep it on, and let it run until it is empty.
