Easiest way to drain the gas tank - x5 e53 2005

[6speeder]

I have some bad gas in my 05 e53. Looking for the EASIEST way to COMPLETELY empty the tank. I could lift the rear seat, tap fuel injection hose to the passenger side fuel pump, energize the fuel pump fuse and allow it to dump into a bucket a few times but Im looking for an easier way if possible, and not sure if this will get ALL of the gas including the very bottom of the reserve tank foot thing on the drivers side at the very bottom of the tank. thanks

1. Put front end up on ramps to make gas run to back of tank.
2. Remove back seat
3. Open access on top of tank (driver's side to make sure you're getting the fuel up in the smaller part of the tank)
4. Pump/suction/siphon gas out into a clean container

{lift off rear bottom cushion}



{remove access to fuel tank, then siphon gas into clean container}

Open both tank access ports and pump it out. Then you could even wipe out the tank with towels or whatever. Disconnect the fuel line at the engine, and blow compressed air through the fuel line to eliminate any bad gas in the line. Replace the fuel filter too because its probably full of the bad gas.

No need to take all sorts of stuff apart.

Just undo a fuel line and run the fuel pump.
