I have a clear siphon hose I use.  It has the webbing thru it.  Think it
is for a soft-drink system.  Keeps me from tasting it.  Had a couple
shots from siphoning from a friends car into mine so we could go cruise.
 Was a bad night in the E-room.  No more black tubes..  heheh. ;-P **  .
Have it extra long.  A hand pump works, but the hose is usally so small.

When I got my plymouth, I took as much out as I could.  Gave it to the
neighbor who burns about 40 gallons a day driving a roach coach.  Didnt
even phase that one.

I ran a full tank thru it.  Changed the filters, ran carb/injection
cleaner thru the next two tanks to take care of any tarnish that may
have been left behind.

If you have a lot of rust particles, You'll probably want to drop the
tank and coat the inside before running it.
