How can I drain the fuel out of the tank, near full. Tried a pump but it has a blocker of some sort.

Hello,

You must remove one of the smaller hoses or the main fill hose from the tank to insert a small plastic tube to start the drain.

Here is a video on how to do it.

Please let me know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Best, Ken
