I'm,

You can drain the fuel from the tank by removing the fuel line from the tank where it is connected to the steel fuel line. Drain it into buckets. If your tank is full, you will need 6-5 gallon buckets.

I just thought, if your strainer is badly plugged, the fuel may take a long time to drain out. Anyway, if the fuel doesn't run out very fast, you know the strainer is plugged. This is usually caused by algae in the fuel. You should treat tank with an algeacide.

The fuel can be used , just strain it thru a cloth and treat with algaecide. NO sense throwing almost $50 of fuel away.
