Drain plugs get hard to pull out if you don't know some tricks. And sloppy. I have a drain port in the gas line that goes from the tanks, to the engine. Makes no difference what, or where your pumps are. I put a tee in the rubber hose, Then a very small gas valve. If you have your pumps at the rear like I do. I have a manual switch ( SPDT). That's close to the port. ( Also, Handy to test your pump flow/pressure ). To drain the tanks. I just put a hose on the gas valve. Open the valve. Then turn the pumps on. One at a time to fill your gas cans.
If you don't have electric fuel pumps. Get an electric gas pump, SPST switch, hose, 2 conductor wire, and 2 alligator clips to connect the wires to your 12V battery. ( Check polarity).
I Also have these same setups on the 4 COPO Yenkos. And on all our cars that are in our (too many ) restored convertible collection. I keep everything. Including the GMC. In clement controlled buildings. Year around at 70 degrees. So spilling gas IS NOT an option. This setup is a must have for the cars that are in that collection.
