What is the easiest way to remove all if not most of the fuel from a 2003 XX fuel tank?

Thx,

Bob

Take off the fuel return line. It is the thicker line going from the right side of the fuel rail to the bottom of the tank. There is no valve in the tank & (I think), it just feeds straight into the bottom with no internal piping.

Certainly when I took it off once, fuel started pouring out straight away! I put it back on real quick!

the old fashioned way of inhailing through a tube then let the nature do the rest.....if you have the tank in hand turn it vertical and put a canister to the overflow tube...!
