The only thing that would concern me would be the sugar in the punch. It can carbonize in the cylinders and lock up the engine. Its such a small amount you may be fine. I know my principle had his truck engine ruined with sugar in the tank when I was in school. But the kids put a whole 5 lb. bag in the tank. So such a small amount may not hurt anything.

I wouldn't filter it and re use it, im not sure a filter is going to catch the fruit punch ;), if you had a filter set up with a water seperator i might just fill it and run the truck

Bulb please explain on that any help on this would help

Step one: buy a cheap bulb at wal-mart/auto parts store. One of the cheapie siphon type deals.

Step two: get worm clamp

Step three: unhook the incoming fuel line to the fuel filter housing.

Step four: hook suction side of barbed bulb assembly to incoming fuel line, attach with worm clamp.

Step five: manipulate bulb until foreign contents are removed from fuel tank, then reverse steps! :)

It works because fuel is drawn from close to the bottom of the tank, and oil floats; therefor your hawaiian punch is at the bottom if the tank.
