Hey there, Greg!
Using the fuel pump to drain gas can work, but it's a bit of a workaround. Disconnecting the fuel line and cranking the ignition might get the pump going, pumping out the old fuel. But, and it's a big but, it can be slow.
If you're in a hurry or dealing with a substantial amount of gas, using a siphon or a fuel pump designed for extraction could save you time. Remember to take safety precautions - no sparks, and do it in a well-ventilated area.
Also, consider the age of the gas. If it's been sitting for a while, it might be a good idea to replace the fuel filter after this operation. Don't want any gunk making its way into your engine.
Stay safe and good luck getting that old gas out!
