Got a '92 Honda Accord that needs a new engine among other things and I plan to be parting it out or otherwise disposing of it. But it has a good amount, maybe at least ten gallons, of some relatively fresh gas still in the tank that I'd like to at least salvage. I'd rather not have to go to the trouble of trying to siphon the gas out and there is indeed a factory drain plug/bolt installed at the bottom of the gas tank that is for draining the gas. It's just a regular six-point hex bolt that could be removed after applying some penetrating oil to help bust the rust and with a socket wrench. My question/concern because I've never attempted such draining of gas like this from a vehicle, is whether there'd be the risk of my socket causing even the slightest spark while trying to remove the drain bolt while the gas is starting to drip/flow out from the tank as I unscrew/remove the bolt. Any comments in that regard appreciated.

I was driving on a small highway between 100 km/h - 140 km/h (when passing), and about 10 minutes later I suddenly felt a loss of power and response from my pedal. Each time I pushed down on the gas pedal a little bit, I got a stuttering of the car (back n forth) with feeling of loss of power. It kept getting worse for the next minute or so as I was slowing down looking for a small road or even garage to stop at. I was just moving along in a local residential road at around 5-10 km/h and could feel the power loss getting worse. Car was stuttering back in forth and sound of the exhaust was like spuddering (loud and then quiet, loud and then quiet). It eventually gave me absolutely no more power that I couldn't drive anymore and I just stopped/parked, turned off the car and about 5 minutes later I restarted the car and it seemed to be working again fine, so I kept it at low speed around 60-70 km/h to head back home. There were no problems on that drive home. I didn't want to try and push it to see what would happen again. Also, no check engine light or any warning light of any kind popped up on the digital screen. I have 3/4 full tank of gas. Engine oil needle was right at 90 (perfect) and I checked the engine oil (when I was parked) and it was perfect also....although there was some kind of yellow fatty looking deposits around the dipstick....I'm assuming that is normal due to the cold weather or the type of motor oil (2013 VW Scirocco R, gasoline). Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? I think I have an idea what it is but I'd like some second opinions. I'll have to get it checked at the service center soon and hopefully it's nothing too serious.
