Does the FC's gas tank have a drain? If so, where is it located? I haven't looked yet.

My S4 T2 has one. Where? On the bottom of the tank, duh!







Sorry, couldn't resist. I drained the old gas out of it right after I got it, but that's been a while ago. The fact that the tank has a drain, and that you can get to the in-tank pump without dropping the tank impressed the hell out of me.

I think there is some federal regulation that all gas tanks have a drain plug. I could be wrong but I heard someone talking about that at one time.
