Thanks Kerry, I found the thread and recall it. I'll just get some 5/16 hose from the local parts store and try your drain method- I should only have a couple of gallons in there when I tackle this wed. My fuel guage is just as accurate as yours! I recently ran on "r" for 80 miles and felt sure I'd run out. Filled up and discovered I still had 6 gal in there. So lets see if my estimations on whats in there are good!
