I recently asked about draining my fuel tank and was given two answers. I am wondering which is easier and more practicle; using the dran nut from the bottom of the tank or accessing the fuel pump from the trunk & syphon

I would use the drain at the bottom of the tank, it does a better job of getting all of the gas out. This video can show you how to drain the tank incase the drain bolt is stuck.
