Had to drain Marie's tank from almost full when LPG'ing it. Remove the feed hose from the fuel pump plate on the tank. Connect a length of fuel hose and run it into an jerry can or another vehicle.

Remove fuel pump relay and bridge the two wide pins in the socket so the fuel pump runs continuously.   :y

Think i will go with the mechanical method although if i get pee`d off at work today hammer and screwdriver may make a guest apperance...

Decided that the oil cooler failure is not economical to repair given the tin worm on the rear arches  :-/

Its here by being broken into tiny little pieces  :-[

Not his only Mig, knowing Markie.  :y

I still reckon running the fuel pump is the easiesy way to drain that tank.

Just make sure you're on the right fuel line (the one that goes to the filter, or connect to the filter itself as MarkDTM says).
