Is there a fuel pump I can use? The engine is in the way of getting the tank out so I dont want to do it that way.

  1. OK, this will sound weird, but it works.  I have done it a couple times.  Pull the fuel line that goes the carbs, and get it somewhere the fuel can drain, like over a can or bucket.  Then pull the vent line, rig it to a bicycle tire pump or CAREFULLY to a compressor regulated at 3PSI or so.  NO MORE, or you will burst the tank.  Anyway, as soon as you pressurize the vent line, if the fill cap is closed, the pressure will force the fuel out of the fuel line.  Make sure you open the selector valve to the reserve position to get the most possible fuel out.


  2. Two inexpensive options:

    1) You can siphon it out

    .or

    2) Go to a hardware store and buy a manual pump used for filling kerosene heaters.
