    Hello,
    I have a brand new Tundra and a full tank of gas.
    How I can drain it with less effort and don't break anything?

    I'm the owner.
    The vehicle will be shipped out of the country soon. The gas will be drained by transporting company before shipping anyway.
    With current gas prices, I could save some dough.

    Well, there are fuel transfer pumps available, but not sure if the 2022 has any kind of anti-siphon baffles that would prevent their usage. Plus, you'd have to have another car (or 30 gallons of storage available) to put it in. For the $150 or so of gas in there (assuming 30 gallons that you could get out, at $5.00 / gallon), I'm not sure it'd be worth the hassle. I'd stand by my original comment and take it out on a nice little road trip and burn it off especially if you're not going to get a chance to drive it for a while during transportation.

    That's not a question we get here often. It's for more common to hear complaints of how the tank drains far too quickly!

    I would go to a dealer and talk to a tech. Ask them if they had to replace a tank under warranty what is the correct draining procedure

    You can disconnect the fuel line at the fuel rail and add a hose. Turn the key on and let it flow.
