    We took an old turkey baster and used that to suck out the gas. Hope this helps.

    I'm certainly no handywoman, Bill - but have you tried a turkey baster? It may be too short to reach to the bottom of your gas tank. Sorry - that's all I have :-)

    Cut the side out of a gallon plastic milk jug (gasoline won't melt it), take the cap off of the snow blower tank, tilt the blower over the jug and drain as much out as you can, then replace the gas cap, start the blower and run it until it quits. That will get all the gas out of the carb also so it will dry and be ready for new gas next Winter.

    Just a thought: Using fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to drain fuel prior to storage by keeping fuel fresh for up to 24 months, and ensures quick easy starts next season by preventing gum and vanish build-up within your engine's fuel system.
