"Remove the vent line from the tank and use a manual siphon pump to a gas tank on the ground. If you can get a long siphon hose and push it thru the bilge drain plug it will be alot easier. The siphon device doesn't have to be expensive; just don't suck the fuel w/your mouth! Insert the rigid siphon tube to the bottom of the tank. Keep a working fire extinguisher at arm's length!

duhhhhhhh of course you need a fire ex. I use to refule jet and you should see what happens when a sprak from static does. static electricity is caused by fuel flowing through thr line that you use and can cause a spark,,,well you know the rest. As Guy stated b4 just do it as a precaution. thats also why you don't use a shop vac....gas fumes and an electric motor.....set up for failure.."
