As BGKAST said, run it down to the reserve light.

I had to replace my hoses, but I have a 12 gallon aluminium tank also. not WVO or any of that other stuff, but I hate stopping for fuel when we are on a long trip.

I ran it down to the light, then drove it a little longer. when I drained it I still had 7 gallons. not a big deal to drain it, but less fuel is better.
be sure to clean of the dirt and grim first so you don`t contaminate your fuel if you are going to reuse.

Also good time to check your tank screen as long as you are that far into it.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
