when i drained mine i removed it. thier was another thread on this bout a month or so ago. some of the guys said they just pumped the ball to get a siphon going. i dont believe you can get it all that way. was real ez on mine. i just drank coffe and smoked cigarettes while my nephew and his bud busted thier rumps. it only took em about 20 minutes or so, start to finish. i then dumped it and then filled it about quarter full with water and sucked it out with shop vac. did that a couple times to get ALL the debri. put in water to float debris and keep it from blowing up.

I bought an inexpensive electric fuel pump from the auto parts store, I put two long leads on it with a toggle switch on the positive side and some alligator clips to connect to a battery AWAY from the fuel lines. Run a piece of fuel line from the discharge side into a gas can. I connected the input side of the pump to the line coming fron the fuel tank and pumped it dry.

I had to do it about a month ago (previous thread mentioned) I just pump the ball got the flo going, and killed all the weeds in my drive way ;D i assume i didn't get 100% out, but after the syphon stoped a pump it until it was just spitting. Filled up and she ran perfect.

Mine was an I/O so I didn't have a ball

Something about electric pumps and smoking cigarettes while pumping out a 60 gallon fuel tank, Hmmmm? :o
When I drained mine I took the fuel sender out and stuck a fuel hose down the hole. I stuck a primer bulb on the other end to get the siphon going and filled up every gas can I had and both cars!

I just removed the line from the pump ball and added another which I ran out into a portable tank. I gave it a few pumps to get it going then just let it go. This is a little slow but worked fine as I did oher things as the tank drained. The only effort was switching tanks as they filled.

I use a ball pump and couple of lenghts of scrap fuel line to siphon it out into portable tanks.

Easiest way is to tell someone who needs it that the gas is FREE, just come get it ;) ...when I went from 2S to 4S, already had oil mixed w/ about 70 gals gas...told some guys who run the rivers around here in jon-boats to come get it and B4 I knew it, it was GONE ;) ...


...and THEY brought the BEER ;D ...

WHEN HURRICANE WILMA, I DID THE SAME AS FRANCO, BEING AN I/O I USED THE BOAT FUEL FOR THE GENERATOR, I USED AN ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP THAT I HAD BRAND NEW, NEVER INSTALLED, AND MADE A POWER CORD BUT I USED BRASS EYELET TERMINALS TO PREVENT SPARKS, REMOVE THE GAS FITTING FROM ENGINE, INSTALLED IT IN THE PUMP AND STARTED PUMPING GAS FOR ME AND MY NEIGBOUR.
