   Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel tank (through fuel tank vent tube fitting or using DRB scan tool). The quickest procedure involves draining the tank through the vent fitting.
   
   
   1. The electric fuel pump may be activated allowing fuel tank to be drained. This is done at fuel rail connection using DRB scan tool. Refer to scan tool for fuel pump activation procedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail, release fuel pressure if it hasn-t been done already. Refer to the Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure in this section for procedures. Attach end of special test hose tool number 6541, 6539, 6631 or 6923 at fuel rail disconnection (tool number will depend on model and/or engine application). Position opposite end of this hose tool to an approved gasoline draining station.
   2. Activate fuel pump and drain tank until empty.
   3. If electric fuel pump does not operate, fuel can be siphoned through fuel vent fitting at outer part of left frame rail. The fuel vent hose will have to be disconnected from tank vent fitting for this operation.
   4. Remove fuel tank filler tube cap.
   5. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
      
      WARNING

      Wrap shop towels around fuel fill and vent hoses to absorb any gasoline that might spill.

   11. The fill and vent fittings are permanently attached at the fuel tank end, and are not serviceable. They are routed through an access hole in the frame rail and protected by a plastic shield. The fittings are snapped into this plastic shield. When lowering the fuel tank, caution must be used to prevent the fitting assembly from bending/kinking.
   12. Push 2 tabs inward to release fill/vent fittings from plastic shield before lowering tank.
   13. Lower tank until connections can be accessed on top of tank. As tank is being lowered, carefully guide fill/vent fitting assembly through plastic shield and frame access hole.
   14. Disconnect fuel supply tube (line) from fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator. Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings in this section.
   15. Disconnect fuel vapor line from both fuel tank check valve fittings.
   16. Disconnect electrical connector at fuel pump module.
