What are good methods/or pumps for emptying fuel tanks? I have used siphoning with som success but are there manual pumps for this tasks? The plastic siphoning assist bellows pumps only last a few times.

Appreciate the advice in advance.

For these tanks on most zero the suction really needs to be flexible enough to reach back to the lower areas of the tanks.

No, but I'm not sure that will get all the liquid, water in some cases, out of the tank. Laziness creaps in when I think about removing the tank:):)

I just use the cheapo hand pump from Walmart for all my fuel and oil pumping needs (mower, motorcycles, cars, boats).
