Empty the Fuel Tank

[active1951]

I've used the rag and tubing and compressed air method to "push" out the fuel from a tank.

Interesting, I may try that next time. By the way, how many miles do you get on your fuel pumps?
I use vans in airport shuttle business.

I won't say because of the jinx factor.
But it has been done once on my 90.

If you are draining with a good pump, why not put hose on fule line and turn ignition to ON, not START, and fuel regulator would not turn off pump since required pressure was never reached?

Draining with a weak pump, "ignition on" only pumps for a few seconds not till pressure is reached.
