Every 4-6 weeks. Im not religious about doing it the first day of every month but rest assured its not neglected. All it takes is one tank of fuel with water in it. Even if you pump from the same station every time you just never know. If I was 100% sure that the fuel I was buying was perfect then I might extend that interval but since I cant analyze the fuel before pumping it I am not taking the chance.
On the 6.0 you had to remove an allen head plug and it would drain all over the place. The 6.4 is soooooo easy with the lever and even has a nipple to attach a hose to. If it were any easier it would do it for you. Even if you havent had problems yet my advice is not to risk it. Takes 30 seconds and no mess at all.

I pour it in an old milk jug. When its full I run it down to a friends shop that uses old oil to heat his shop. He just pours it in the tank and its free heat to him.
I have a friend that pours his in to his kerosene heater.
