Default Drain gas from Grizzly

can somebody tell me how to do it? I am not at home and need to know how hard it is going to be in the am? With gas prices this high, I have to drain the gas to put in my truck for work. Not too bad though, the weather is supposed to be really crappy for three days. Thanks

The easiest way is to syphin it out with a hose.
Are gas prices that bad? My wife said it went down to $1.95 in N. Dakota but may not stay there. What kind of prices are you guys paying.

Hey Starky, We are at about $2.30 here. It's getting retarded here. I wish the gas would drop below 2 bucks. Then maybe I could afford to get to work everyday. Is there a hose I could disconnect under the tank to drain it straight into a gas can?

You could disconnect your fuel line from the carberator but that would be a pain and very slow. Do you have a turkey baster hiding in a kitchen drawer? I've done that before but you better replace it befor it's needed.

Never thought of that. That's a good idea. It will be November before it's missed, and we are moving between now and then, you know how things come up missing during a move, lol. That's the ticket, Thanks.

Don't worry, she thought Wyoming is where they make the cheese. If she tried to get to ND, she would end up somewhere around Maine. lol, sweet girl, but geography is not her strong suit. Thanks again.

I just disconnected a fuel line from the carb. It took awhile, but I didn't get gas in my mouth. It sucked too because the tank was damn near full
