Draining fuel tank
My 86 Bronco II has been sitting untouched (actually, more like buried) for a few years in my crowded garage. I dug it out on Saturday and got a flatbed to take it to my work where I can actually work on it.
It hasn't run in at least 2 years, maybe 3 and before I even turn the key, I want to get all the old bad gas out.
So getting to the point, is there a simple way I can disconnect the fuel line and turn the pump on to do the work for me? It looks like I can disconnect the lines at the fuel filter in the frame under the drivers seat but both the supply and return line run through it and I can't tell them apart.
Is there anything else I should do before turning the key besides checking fluid levels?
Also, if I drain the fuel from the back, how do I drain the fuel from the engine? Its the V6 2.9L EFI

Well I got brave and decided to give it a try... Amazingly it fired right up and ran like a champ... but I have a problem now, the clutch pedal was slow coming up when I released it and after shutting off the engine, I can no longer press the clutch, the pedal is stuck up. What could be causing this?
