Hello,

This is my first post to the forum so I apologize if its posted in the wrong place. I just purchased a 1951 3100. I am wondering what the best way to drain the gas tank would be. The tank is in the original location behind the seat. Is there a drain cock or anything on the tank?

Thank you for any information that you can provide.

Sincerely,
Chris

There should be a drain plug under the cab where the flex line connects on. There may be an el or a petcock there. Be careful when you take the plug out and hold the petcock securely. There is about a 2" long brass nipple that goes into the tank, and it is easily broken.
