How Do I Drain the Fuel Tank?

[RickJC]

Sounds simple enough, right? Well, when I try to get the siphon hose down the filler neck, it is getting stopped by something before it reaches the gas. I've been told it's the anti-rollover valve.

What's the easiest way to drain the tank?

Thanks.

Probably with a syphon that is self starting. Syphon gas into an approved container. Do not use an electric drill driven pump or simular.


ooops just read the rest of your post.

Part of the filler neck includes a plastic tube with baffles and a small flap at the end. This tube is connected to the filler neck hub and hangs into the filler neck of the fuel tank.



This serves three functions:

• An anti-surge device;
• A flame arrestor device;
• An anti-siphon device.

Unfortunately in this case, it works very well. You can remove the large rubber hose from the tank where the filler tube connects, insert a small hose, and pump/siphon the fuel from the tank.
