I'm trying to drain the tank, and I've got a syfin hose in there and successfully got out about 8 gallons. Well, it's a 21 gallon tank, and I've still got just over half a tank in there. My syfin hose seemed to have hit the "bottom", and I can't seem to find the rest of the gas. ?? Is it "partitioned" or something?

What am I doing wrong here? where's the rest of the gasoline?

When I was changing the fuel pump, I didn't see any partitions in the tank. Perhaps the hose is coiling upwards inside the tank and thus not sucking gas. Look at the bottom of the tank for a drain plug. Many tanks have a plug to drain the gasoline out.

Got it drained via the plug. Thanks for the tip.
