Draining the fuel tank T5

[Okaruss]

Asking for the easiest and or quickest way to drain the fuel tank (not all of it just most of it).
Is there a fuel line that can be disconnected near the filter and extended to reach a jerry can on the ground? Ign on fuel pump would empty tank? What do you guys rekon?

If you can jack it up high enough, you can get the tank out fairly easy.

The pump will only prime for a few seconds with the ignition on, so that method could take a while.

The good old fashioned way put a hose down past the flap and siphon .

how many lines on the fuel filter? 2 or 4? if there is 4 and your fuel is ok and you just want to drain the tank for removal.. you could run the engine with the blue return line removed and drain it back to your can instead of the tank... only if the fuels goos tho! . other than that you could bridge the fuel pump relay but thats more than likely under the battery and crap to get too. .VUB.
