Default Emptying gas tank for new fuel

Hello to all the people who got tunes on 2+ kinds of fuel what did you do to empty the gas tank? Run it dry? Would it be possible to drill and tap the bottom of the tank and put a -an plug in and safety wire it?

The easiest way is the way that Joey(IlovemyHonda1984) and Scott(dsddcd) showed me is thus:

Get an aftermarket fuel rail. We use InlinePRO fuel rails. Most aftermarket rails have a port at each end of the fuel rail. When you want to drain the tank, hook up a hose with fitting to the port that you did not use for the feed line and would normally have plugged off. Put the hose in a gas can. Set the fuel pumps to prime to 30 seconds in the AEM start settings menu. Turn the key on every 30 seconds until there isn't anymore coming out.

One of the reasons I went away from race fuel, sucked having to keep a constant eye on the fuel level, and then draining the tank/etc.

I simply disconnect the feed line, drop it in a bucket, and since I have my pump on a relay, just run a small gauge wire from the battery to the relay to activate the pump w/o the key on, and let it pump out.

I just take off my return line from my rail and put it into a gas can, start the car and let it run till the return is dry.
