Just disconnect the hose going from the tank to the pump. Most of it
will drain out. Remember to dispose of the hazardous waste in a proper
manner. I poor small quantities into cars and burn it off that way.

Subject: How to Drain Gas Tank in 85 Westy?

I have a 1985 Westphalia that sat for a long time and I assume the gas
may be varnished or poor. I need to drain the gas that is in it in order
to add
fresh gas before I run her. What is my easiest method of doing that, and
what tools and time would that require?

Thanks in advance!

James
