dear mmamdouh

your fuel tank has no drain plug and it is localy manufactured (frank-sami) you must remove it and clean it. i already do that job.

is it worth the effort? i mean was it full of dirt? i expect it to be fully loaded.

with what you showed us about 6 months ago your tank will need cleaning if it has all that crap in it still.

here is a quick way to estimate...

tank size = 12 gallons (i think)
hmpg = 35
highway speed = 60mph (constant)

that's one mile a minute... 35 minutes to a gallon, (real rough) 6-6.5hrs to run her dry

now, no one is gonna be able to go from a standstill to 60mph and keep it that way, plus, 35mpg is a bit high i think... adjust as you see fit
**disclaimer**
i know that is the most bass ackwards formula ever, but it's a rough guess and gives you an idea how to figure it.

i am going to start that when it is almost dry and remeber the fuel gets recirculated during normal driving... in my case it will be an open loop.

I think you will find al ot of dirt in it. Many people clean it using vingar and later leave it few hours in the sun to dry off.
