Got the fuel out today. I disconnected the fuel line at the accumulator and put my hose over it...it came pouring out until empty.
As I thought....12-13 gallons. The fuel looks clean, so I may just filter it using coffee filters and re-use it? Should be safe to do right?

From what it looks like, the fuel filter simply failed. I'm going to crack it open and see out of curiosity. I am still gonna get the fuel tank taken care of though.

Also, now that I am looking at it, do I even NEED to take out the fuel filler hose adapter with those rivets?
