The fuel strainer in my fuel tank was so plugged with algae that the fuel only dripped out slowly after removing the fuel hose from the steel fuel line. After 3 days only about 2 gallons came out. So I used an air hose to reverse blow out the strainer. Fuel came out a little faster and finally the tank was drained.

To remove the strainer, I used 17 mm wrench to turn the fuel hose nut and it was tight enough in the strainer to unscrew the strainer. To clean the strainer, I soaked it in gasoline, which didn't dissolve much. So I unscrewed the fuel hose and and blew the strainer clean with an air nozzle.

I put everything together and added 1/2 ounce of Biobor and refilled with 20 gallons of fuel. Have yet to see if the filters plug as I've only driven it a few miles since. I plan to remove the fuel hose from the steel fuel line after the tank is almost empty and see how fast the fuel runs out. This will give me an idea if the strainer is plugged and needs to be cleaned again.
