Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech draining fuel tank

Put a 4 foot long small diameter fuel hose into the tank and a fuel can below the tank and beside the bike and suck to get it going. If you have a vacuum pump to get it flowing you can avoid the aftertaste. It's a bit tricky to feed the hose down to the rear of the tank because the fuel pump is in the way. That's why a small diameter hose is easier. You may need to drain the last bit into a bucket by turning the tank upside down (when it's off of course). You don't have to drain it on the bike. You can remove it and drain it elsewhere. It's dead easy. Good luck.
