i have a 1996 fxdwg and i have to drain the fuel tank . when the fuel line is removed i do not have fuel flow from the petcock ?? How do i drain it ??

 

use a tube and siphen it out... or turn off the petcock, undo the fuel line and run a new one into a can (if you open your gas cap it goes faster)

 

i tried it that way,there is some kind of diaphram on the back of the petcock

 

you gotta take the console backing plate off and the petcock for paint. Dump it out.

 

the bike is in the house. need to drain it so i can take the line that equilizes the tank off without spilling the gas.

 

siphen it out

 

ah, siphen then.... still gonna have a house that smells like gas. I suggest bringing bike outside first. Unless the wheels are not on it or some other reason.

 

hell ya bring it outside!!!!!!! that is insane to do it in the house

 

Definitely syphon it out is the way to go - did it a few days ago, straight into a fuel can - no probs. You MUST take it outside though, i did mine in the garage and it still stinks in there!
