The is no drain plug on the tank. I would seriously try to pump it out and clean it in place, changing the tank, which comes out the bottom of the car, can be a lot of fun.......

I can't see how it can be done well enough in place to eradicate something intended to harm the fuel system unless you pumped it nearly dry, ran it and changed the fuel filter immediately. To be safe, you need to take it out for an inverted dump and rinse, hell hath no fury like a scorned sweet thoughtful young lass.

Depending on what the substance is it is difficult to get from the filler neck into the gas tank, are you sure it has actually entered the tank?

Ahhh, the weaker sex strikes again! This time it they were not weaker and it will take you a week to fix!

Seriously, bummer to hear about it. Doesn't the vehicle have locking gas flap? I am not even going to ask how she could have gotten it in there without your noticing. It CAN happen!

The gas tank is not in an easy thing to replace. As difficult as it is to get to, it may more difficult to clean an old tank, depending on what "chemical" was used by your X.

You may find a tank from a junk yard to be another option.

None of them seem like good choices. Better to fix the relationship or move on so it does not happen again.

Crazy CAN LAST a lifetime, and….Anyone CAN MISS their medication.

Sorry for your loses.
