  to drain it just open it.  it's like a bottle cap.  it twists open.  if it is tight you can lightly grip it with some pliers (covering the cap with a cloth so you don't tear up the plastic) and loosen it that way.  You don't need to open it that much, just enough to get some liquid flowing out.  When you get diesel coming out, close it again

  never used a line.  I usually drain it into a cut down margarine container
