I need to get the fuel out of my dirt bike fuel tank?

Hey guys, I have a Husqvarna CR250 dirtbike. Yesterday, I mixed up a fresh batch of fuel for it, dumped it in the tank, only to realize 5 minutes later that I had mixed standard, non synthetic 2-stroke oil in with the gas (rather than the high-quality synthetic stuff I am supposed to use). If I run my dirtbike with that fuel in it, it will foul the plugs and the bike will run pretty crappy until I put fresh fuel in.

So, I need to get all that fuel out of the tank. What is the best way to do this? The on/off valve for the fuel comes directly off the tank, there is no hose in between the tank and the valve. And I'm afraid to try to disconnect the hose that goes from the valve to the carburetor because I think I will have extreme difficulty getting the hose back on (since it seems like the hose is much skinnier than what it attaches to).

Any suggestions?

Take off the hose under the tank to carb. Dont be afraid to do it.

The whole point is will be hard to get on, because it needs to stay on and be liquid tight.

There will no doubt be a couple of jubille clips to undo first. Source(s): Easy job to do. 1 hour max.

you can get a siphon hand pump from auto-zone for like $3
Put the petcock in off. Disconnect the fuel line from the carbs. Put the open end of the line into a container large enough to catch all the fuel. Turn the petcock on. Open your gas cap.

Or take the tank off, and dump all the fuel out.
lot's of choices. Use a cheapo hand syphon pump, run a small hose from the tank to a fuel can sitting at ground level, Gravity will do the rest., remove the tank and pour fuel out the fill point, undo the small hose and drain, it will go back on ok. Just be sure not to do any of this in an enclosed area, or in a garage with a gas water heater or any other place where you might get a spark or open flame.
Good ole siphon, use a hose and another container on the ground, if you don't want to but a siphon pump, stick the hose deep in the tank, suck on the hose lower than the tank and be ready to spit as soon as the gas hits your mouth. Not fun but it works..
