I would not 'yank' it out and 'shove' it in. So many things in the way and you are on your back lying down. I would not use the Shop Vac either. You leave too much to chance and possibly another person. Just empty the tank as much as you could, or purge the tank with compress air to dislodge any debris before you try to drain it.

The other thing you can do is to cut the feed hose and shove a switch valve or something ( golf tee ) to plug the hose if necessary and drain it slowly.

Wear protective eye goggle. The last thing you want is diesel all over your face. Good luck.
