What might be the simplest, easiest, fastest and "cleanest" way to drain the fuel tank on a 1G AWD? Repeatable too, like maybe a installed valve?

I can think of a few different methods, but what are you guys doing?
Maybe install a "y" valve on the fuel return line, between the afpr and the stock hard fuel return line with a drain hose plumbed out by the fenderwell or similar? Or maybe the same thing on the rail's supply line between the filter and the rail inlet?

:rolleyes: ;)




















Or maybe use the fuel tank drain plug...
Now to get a valve that'll work there.

Let the pump drain it for you. There's a jumper under the hood which supplies power to the fuel pump. Put a drain line on the FPR and away you go.

If you frequently need to drain it. Wire up a switch :). Just remember to turn it off. And don't run the pump dry.
