Trying to avoid removing the fuel pump to drain the tank in preparation for paint.
Anyone done this on the fz6?
Unfortunately, There are many videos to show you how to do something that may be successful but may not be the best idea for safety of the people and property.
If you provide current via jumpers it should be fused at the voltage source. If you short unfused jumpers they are instantly a danger in more that one way. Be sure you work in a well ventilated area for your lungs and fire safety. Grounding the tank and yourself can also keep static potentials from causing a spark.
I've heard many times people say don't run the fuel pump dry.
My cousin lit his BBQ in his back yard. He then got his lawn mower out to mow the lawn while the coals got hot. He went to the garage to get a gas can to fill the mower. The fumes from the gas can ignited many feet away. He had a basket ball scholarship as well as his arm and side that went up in flames.
Main thing is be safe!
I believe that the tank is doubled walled, so dent repair is not possible. @trepetti would know for sure.
