Rick,
Fuel cells usually have a couple of places for bulkhead fittings on the
bottom. In my case they are taken up by the #12 tank outlet and the #6 return
line for the shutoff and bypass pill return. It's a simple matter, however,
to insert a capped-off tee into either the suction or pressure bypass to use
when draining the tank. In my car we just use a hardware store laquer thinner
hand pump and suck as much out as we can...........Ardun Doug King
