Unhook your fuel line to the engine, take a primer bulb and attach it to the disconnected line, squeeze a few times, watch her drain. Make sure the line output is obviously lower than the tank

as mentioned above... disconnect hose... connect a clear line into your barrel etc... below the level of your tank... and let her rip
