I tryed using a 12v inline pump attached to the outlet line on my`92 diesel side-mount tank (facing front downhill) and got nothing.I had about 18 gallons in there.Then,I attached a long piece of fuel line and stuffed it down into the tank all the way up front (lowest point) and it sucked it all out.There may have been a qt. left in there.But,to remove those tanks,it`s easiest to pull the bed.That`s the only way I`d even try it.But,I have a steel Reading work cap w/ladder rack (1,000#approx.).That`s the only reason I didn`t pull the tank.I`d just pull the seat and yank the tank.
