Draining the gas tank to change it. This is a 1984 with the filter before the pump. I hooked up a hose to the discharge port on the pump, ran 12v+ to the pump and pumped out the gasoline into a gas can. With the clogged screen I was able to pump out 4 gallons that would not just drain out. Get out what you can as gasoline weights around 6 lbs a gallon and that weight will be shifting as you take it out.
