Just use a pump to take it out. That is what I did for a car show.

drive around LOL!

No kidding, go drive a lap around Beltway 8

Or, disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail and put it into a gas can, turn on the key.

Not sure if it applies to the viper or not but I would just pull the fuse to the fuel gauge so it showed empty on my road runner. Alot of the time they never even checked.

I would drive around but already detailed the car and on trailer ready to go i'll try the fuel rail.

Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell is the point! You can't have fuel in your car at a car show?

I said the same thing but its indoors has to have less than 1/4 tank as per fire marshal.

I'm guessing it's indoors, fire regulations need the fuel tanks to be at a low level in case of an accident.

Never knew that. Also never had a car in a indoor show either.

Tip the car upside down?

Great advice above. You could probably also just start the car and let it run? Especially if on a open trailer??

Yeah, last January there was a pretty infamous news story of a Lamborghini Gallardo catching fire outside the Portland Auto Show because of this rule. Somebody decided it would be a good idea to put the car at full throttle in neutral to run the gas down to a quarter tank. There used to be a video of it, but it must have been removed due to lawyers or something because I can't find it anywhere now.

I literally couldn't sleep the first night after I read this story. UNBELIEVABLE.
