Oh is that all I have to do? Geez, why didn't I think of that!? :rolleyes: I suspect there would be AT LEAST a gallon left in this can if I turned it over when it was full. I already told you I can't just dump it out - TWICE!<br /><br />Hooty - If you don't like my posts feel free to stop replying. If you want to be that childish it's up to you...

New tank? Water/Fuel separator? Alcohol? Hand pump? All will work....

Drill a hole in the bottom....when it's empty, fix the hole you just put in your tank. (or do the alcohol thing) :D

Guys this is easy. Portable tanks have guages and fuel pickups which are removable from the tank. Simply remove the guage and dump out the fuel, there is no lip to interfere. Also original equipment evinrude/johnson tanks had a single screw on the guage assembly marked as a drain. Simply find and remove that screw. <br /><br />On another subject I think a shop vac would spark a fire if you used it to suck out the gas. I KNOW that a drill pump will spark a fire!!
