HELP NEEDED - Drain Fuel Tank?
Does anyone know how to most effectively drain the fuel tank on an 03 F350 dually, 6.0? I need to get about 30 gallons of GASOLINE out of the tank before I can change the filters and REFILL it with DIESEL... It's a BAD DAY...
Any help would be appreciated...

Siphon out all you can get out that way, then refill it with #2 diesel. The percentage of gasoline left should be small enough to cause no problems. If the lines have straight gas in them I would also try to drain it out before starting it.

Thanks Dave -- I managed to get it done. I got pretty frustrated because all that I read said to "drain" the tank. I couldn't find any way to drain it... So I finally got a siphon tube down the filler neck and got it siphoned. Changed filters (getting as much gas out of the system as I could) refilled with diesel and ---- All is fine.
The dealer really scared me, saying that probably all injectors would have to be replaced (at 400 each)...
Thanks for the help.
