Drain Fuel tank?

[detanner]

I'd like to drain the fuel out of my Cruisers 2670 Rouge to make it weigh less for towing. Any ideas on how to drain 40 gallons of gas? The tank is under the mid berth.

Thanks
Dave

Get a long hose and feed it into the tank to the bottom. Then route it wherever out of the transom drain hole and siphon away into a safe container.

actually if appriox 350 to 400 lbs, is a concern, i'd consider another tow vehicle. rent a u haul truck.

Tasha is right. Thats not much weight unless the tow vehicle is under powered.
Siphon it from the boat into the tow vehicle.That way you will burn it while towing...8)
