Ok, I've been needled about being thrifty, frugal, or even downright cheap when it comes to building my hotrod, or in other projects. I'm somewhat famous for re-using or re-purposing stuff for other tasks. Well your jabs are now truly justified.

There's no way I'm giving $75 worth of gas to the salvage company! A switch from the junkbox, some wire, a length of line (left over from the LT-1 swap) and the "Green Mary", and the Taurus are now topped off.

If it's going bye-bye, I would've kept the gas too but I probably wouldn't have been so nice about it. A hole in the tank for a drain would've been good for me, but I see you let the pump do the work of transferring it...notworthy

Has junior heard a verdict for his restriction infraction yet ?

Frugal my foot. 75 dollars is a lot of money. No way I would leave that much gas in there either. I did the same thing with that old blue Escort I used to have. Pulled the back seat out to gain access to the fuel pump and pulled the pump off and inserted a electric pump with a rubber hose into the liquid. Parked my truck right next to it and pumped the gas out of my Escort right into my truck. Escort had too many problems for even being worth a technician like my self to warrant fixing so I donated it the next day.
