Yes it is out of the car and much easier to work with.
Another good option is to go to a rad shop and have it boiled out...........
Thanks for the reply. But Yikes! 3 months? My goal for this project is to get the car back on the road before the season ends. I've read a few articles about vinegar doing the trick but those were focused on rust and debris rather than gas fumes. Need to be sure there are none before hitting it with a torch!
