Emptying gas tank

[ntfrendlyGR]

Recently had to empty a full tank of E85 because water was in it. I unplugged the fuel pump and just cycled the pump with a cordless battery hooking up a piece of fuel line to the low pressure line under the hood and into a 5 gallon gas cans. It’s worked, but there’s gotta be an easier way., maybe a relay to jump.???? I did a search and didn’t seem to find much. Anyone else have any MacGyver tricks?

I use protool app and use the fuel pump activation it has. Otherwise I do the same as you pull low pressure line off and connect a hose to run into a 5 gallon container.
