where can I get the kit to drain the tank?

I'm guessing I will need some special hose attachment to screw on my shrader valve on the fuel rail for draining, so that it presses in the pin and the fuel can physically come out. Where can I get a screw on connection, preferable already attached to the hose, that I can use for this?

I bought a 6' R-12 A/C hose. It has the pin inside that will depress the valve.

Don't think you need much in the way of a "special kit." Just take the cap off of the fuel rail, depress the valve to relieve the pressure (careful there will be a small amount of fuel that will come out) remove the schrader valve with a valve core removal tool. Use a piece of hose that is just large enough to slip over the fuel line and a hose clamp to keep it from leaking. Locate the connector to activate the fuel pump - this should be a black or gray connector below and back of the alternator that is not hooked to anything. Not the green connector - that is for a tach hookup. Now you apply 12v to that fuel pump connector and the pump will activate. Pretty simple really.

So it doesn't damage anything removing and reinserting that shrader valve (pin depressing valve thing)? When I was looking at it, it didnt' look like a piece that was able to be taken in and out of teh end of the rail (or the Casper's T in this case, so I can run my FP guage and still drain it). Where can I get one of these removal tools?

Nope. Just screws in/out.

Just about anyplace. Hardware store, auto parts store etc. It is the same thing that is used to remove a valve core from a tire.

Anyone remember what's the best diameter hose to try to use?
