Fuel Tank Draining: Notes
WARNING:
Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Drain the fuel tank to at least 3/4 of a tank before removing the fuel sender retaining ring or fuel sender access panel in order to avoid possible fuel spillage. Failing to follow this procedure could result in personal injury. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
