how to drain fuel from system?
what is the best way to drain fuel from the tank?
i think i might have bad gas and i don't want to spend the time it takes to run out an entire tank of fuel just to troubleshoot. i would like to drain it and refill it with different gas.
TIA

take a center punch and a hammer. WHAM! hole thru the bottom. tank will be empty in a matter of seconds.
hehehe. j/k. disconnect fuel supply line at fuel rail. aim it into a catch container. jump 12 volts to fuel pump. done and done.
and dont forget disconnect battery when done. you dont want the fuel pump to overheat. your fuel is what keeps it cool in the first place.

you can skip jumping voltage to the pump entirely by simply turnning the key to the "on" position but not "start". this will run the pump but only for a few seconds. so you'll have to turn the key off agian. so what you'll be doing is..key on for few seconds, key off, key on agian, key off, key on, key off, key on, key off, key on ect. this will take you longer to drain the tank.
