+1 why take the chance of boogering up pumps.lines and other parts...Drop the tank or stuff a tube down the filler and pump it out.Fill it up and add cleaner..

for 100$ u can buy a hand pump ( sphion ) and get it all out that way. I work on trucks all the time and Have for doin injectors and other things like fuel filters... they are handy when u have 1... I can pump a full tank in about 5 minutes...
