Draining Tank
The absence of a drain plug in the gas tanks makes it
necessary to siphon fuel from the tank when draining is
needed. The following procedure is recommended.
1. Obtain approximately 10 feet of 3/8" I.D. hose and
cut a flat-type slit 18" from one end. Make this cut
on the hose in the direction "toward the shorter end
(See Figure 2).
2. Insert a small pipe nipple (slightly larger O.D. than
the hose I.D.) into the opposite end of hose.
3. Insert the nipple end of the siphon hose into the fuel
tank filler neck with the natural curl of the hose
pointing down. Insert until the hose is heard to strike
bottom of the tank.
4. With the opposite end of the hose in a suitable con-
taner insert an air hose in downward direction in the
flap-type slit and trigger the flow of fuel.
