Foolishly somehow left the cap off and we got a good dousing of rain this morning.
I'm guessing I probably picked up a good pint of water.
Is there a specific procedure to drain the tank and lines?
Looks like the manual says I can remove the fuel line from underneath at the filter and drain it that way?
That easy?
Anything else I should do? Precautions?
Thanks in advance!

I would also add a water emulsifier to help disperse any leftover water/condensate in the fuel tank just to be safe. Also a good time to check for any foreign bits in the bottom of the tank while you've got the tank drained.
