Gas!Gas!Gas!

Does anyone know the best way to drain all of the fuel, including the fuel line when pulling an engine? I just want to be sure before I do so, you can never be to careful.

Re: Gas!Gas!Gas!

I wouldn't drain ALL of the fuel (especially the tank) unless you have a few cans to put it in.
What I've done, where the rubber hose extends from the hard line, bend the rubber line in half and put a small pair of vise-grips on it. I'm sure there is a better way, but you can save all of your gas and saves you from draining it all.

I always put a bolt in the end of the line and tighten down the hose clamp around it.
