Note Not all vehicles will have a drain plug on the fuel tank. Before beginning be sure to research your specific vehicle to see if it indeed does have a drain plug. Step 1: Drive the vehicle until the fuel is as low as possible. Similar to Method 1, Step1, this will cut back the amount of draining that will need to be done, saving time and energy.
