Fuel Tank Draining
Procedure:WARNING: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. If an ignition source is present a fire can occur. Never drain or store gasoline in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
- Relieve fuel system pressure.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Use a hand operated pump device to drain as much fuel as possible through the filler neck (make sure to hook up static ground wire to a metal part of gas tank before you begin if pump is equipped)
