  1. DO NOT Attempt to Remove the Fuel Yourself

We highly stress that you should use a professional to drain fuel. Draining the fuel yourself can be a dangerous procedure. There is a risk of breathing in toxic fumes and splashing yourself with fuel and severely damaging the eyes, face or body.

We have also seen damage to the fuel tank occur many times when people have attempted to drain the wrong fuel themselves.
