Emptying the fuel tank
Hey,
Ive had a couple of occasions where I did not run the fuel tank dry before putting my ST away for the day (due to crashes, nagging wife, etc). I tried to empty the tank using the filler bottle but this still left some fuel in the tank.
I can now see condensation forming in the fuel tank, which even I know is bad.
How do you all completely empty the tank? Is there anything I should be doing to eliminate/reduce the condensation?
Cheers

Just get what you can get out and then turn the truck upside down and pour it out. Then put the glow plug and keep starting it till it dose not turn over at all. Then all the fuel is gone and add after run oil. Also if you want to store fuel in the tank or are really worried about that little bit of left over vapour. Disconnect the fuel line from the carb and plug it into the back pressure line on the tank. Then you fuel line makes a loop and fuel cant get out.
