1) Run it as dry as you can

2) The bolts that hold the skid plate on also hold the tank up - be ready for it to fall. Be careful not to damage lines.wires to it.

No, their is some type of valve or some thing at the tank, I siphoned all I could. I pulled the fuel fill hose at the tank but still can't get a hose down? Not sure if that white fitting on the tank unscrews, I tried but it would not budge and I didn't want to break it.

if you cant drain it anymore then you will need to have a couple of floor jacks on hand to take the weight off and lower it down to the ground.
