Default Help wanted to drain a tank of fuel

Hello everyone!

I need some help to drain my tank of fuel on my "98" impreza, please dont say use the car cause i cant!

Is it best to try and do it from where you fill it up or cut the fuel line and drain it like that! If cutting the fuel line is easier which side of the car does the line run?

Thanks
Adz

you want to put a direct feed on the fuel pump and take off the 'in' pipe off the filter....
why do you want to drain it? have you put diesel in it?
