Andy...



What tank? You didn't provide any pertinent info such as manufacturer or model!



See the link below. I don't know if it will fit your model... cock-p-432052.html">Thumb Screw Drain Cock



I personally used fittings and brass tubing and routed mine to a handy location not so close to the ground... but then I'm getting old.

You must remove the fuel tank to drain it and then have the fuel filter replaced and the lines flushed out, this is not a do at home job.

Yes you can; but it is a very good idea to drain your carburettor(small phillips screw at the bottom of the float bowl, sometimes an allen screw) with the FUEL OFF at the fuel tap at the bottom of the tank. Then remove the fuel line from the tank to carby at the carby end, and drain ALL the fuel out of the tank(ensure to switch the fuel tap tap 'reserve', if applicable). Actually it's a really good occasion to remove the fuel tank completely, and rinse it out with a cupful of the new fuel mixture; but I don't know how committed you are to maintenance...If you don't follow this procedure to separate the two different fuel mixes, you may get partial solidification of some components of the fuel/oil mix. Then again, nothing may happen: but it is better to be safe than sorry!

Hi.

Don't worry about it, if you loose performance in the next few days then you know where to look but it shouldn't clog up the filter.
If you find that you are worried about it then you will have to take the gas tank off, drain the fuel and the flush the paper out.


Regards.

Look at the drain tank it needs to be emptied

You've probably plugged the carburetor up with oil. It'll need a good cleaning with carb cleaner. If you don't know how, then I'd recommend a professional to do the job. Best of luck to you.

For the oil? On the oil tank you will see tubes coming off the bottom of the tank, there is two one to the motor and one will drop almost straight down. follow the tube and you will see the plug. most times it will sit right behind the tranny on the rh side of the bike. don't worry about the motor holds little oil and the tranny is separate and holds its own oil.
If you need more help please let me know

Follow the bottom hose to the base of the radiator. If there's no drain petcock there (most newer vehicles don't have one) you'll need to carefully remove that lower hose from the radiator in order to drain it.

I don't know what plug you're taking out but it's evidently the wrong one. If you'll look at the oil tank from the right side of the bike, on the backside down at the bottom of the tank you'll see a hose. Follow this hose down behind the transmission and back out just below the transmission. The hose either dead ends there with a plug in it or it connects to the crossmember of the frame that runs across below the transmission. If the hose connects to the crossmember, the drain plug is directly underneath the point where the hose connects. I hope this helps.

Good Luck

Some dehumidifiers don't require that the bucket be in place, when a drain hose is attached to the unit. I'm not sure that's the case with yours, because I'm unfamiliar with the Westpointe brand. You should also check the drain connection that the hose is connected to. It may be clogged, which forces the water into the bucket instead of draining through the hose. If you have something flexible like a long plastic Zip Tie, that can easily be run into the hose connection and slowly pulled back out, while rotating it should loosen any clogs. Be prepared for water to follow. Do not use a wire coat hanger to do this and be sure the unit is OFF and unplugged from the wall, before attempting it.

Hope this helped you to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Please let me know.
