On a PR6 ? Having no clue how much fuel is in it, I end up filling it up before each race, not ideal! I guess the best bet is to fit a drain cock into the lines somewhere, where's the best fitment point & what dash size fuel lines are they & who do you normally get the bits from?

The tank contains a swirl pot that is around 1 litre in size iirc. The easiest thing to do imho it add a T-piece to the low pressure line between the tank and the pump and terminate in a fuel tap. Use a external pump to pull the petrol out of the tank, this way you are not running the high pressure pump all the time when draining the tank. Rememebering that you'll have around a litre in the swirl pot that won't be drained so keep that in mind when refilling.
