I bought a new toy which may help a few folks needing to drain their tanks. My old Morgan, similar to Alberg, has the tank just below the cockpit more or less to the rear and above the engine with a cockpit fuel fitting. When I got some water in the tank I used a Terra "stick" pump from Amazon [on ebay as well] It operates on two D cells, has a 17 in telescopic wand and a 3ft drain hose with a handle switch. Pumps out @ 2 1/2 gal/min. Mine was about $40 but their are other brands/models as low as $12. Not the most robust built pump I have seen but then I do not plan on using it all that much. Only drawback is my specific one has the wand pump end just slightly larger than a standard US gas can opening - can't use it for pumping gas directly from a can into the tank without some modification. Getting tank gas out is a breeze.
