Emptying a fuel tank completely.

[PaulC]

I found an interesting way to get that last tiny bit of fuel out of the fuel tank and line.

After you have got all you can get out with the fuel bottle suction, take the back pressure line off the exhaust and the line off the carb. Put the carb end into a waste fuel bottle and the exhaust line on the nozzle of your air duster/compressed air line. Hit it. Fuel will come jetting out the fuel line until the fuel tank is completely empty and the line clear.

Blowing in the exhaust line will acheive the same result but slower and as you'll need to blow a lot you are likely to blow slabbers down into the fuel line

Nice trick Paul. Not to mention, wasn't there just a "Don't drink the nitro" thread.

Yes that works very well. I use that before I store one or ship it somewhere. I love my air compressor. Only thing better than a good compressor......is a BIGGER compressor!
