How to Remove Gas from the Lawn Mower

If you are going to be storing your lawn mower for the winter, you will want to remove all of the gas from both the gas tank and the fuel lines so that the gas does not go bad while the lawn mower is being stored. It is important to do this so that you do not damage your lawn mower.

• If you have a lot of gas in your lawn mower, you may want to remove the gas tank so that you can save the gas for something else. Remove the clips that are holding the fuel lines in place and then lift your gas tank up and out of your lawn mower. You should then pour the gas into a gas can, and replace the gas tank by reconnecting the fuel lines and clips in place.


• A great way to remove the gas in your lawn mower if you do not want to save it is to allow it to run out of your lawn mower. You should start the lawn mower, and then allow it to run until it runs out of gas. The amount of time this will take will depend on the amount of gas in your lawn mower's gas tank. Removing the gas this way will also remove the fuel from the fuel lines.


• You can siphon the gas out of your tank using a siphoning kit that you purchased at your local home improvement store, or use a standard turkey baster. Either one will get the job done. All you need to do is remove the gas cap and stick the baster down into the gas tank, and then squeeze the handle to suck the gas into the baster. Squeeze the gas out into a gas can, and then repeat the process until you have removed all of the gas from the tank. It is best to allow the lawn mower to run for a few minutes after you are done so that it is able to burn off any gas that remains in the gas lines.
