I'm just concerned about how you open the drain plug with 14.4 gallons  
of gas in there.  It would certainly drain all the sludge out of the  
tank
but it's not what I want to use to clean my garage floor.  I like the  
idea of using the pump to drain the tank  but it will take hours.  Can  
I add a petcock
down there?
