Hi pplmelita,

If you don't have a petcock to turn the fuel off below the tank, I would disconnect the line at the filter and drain the gas out that way.
If you're wanting completely drain all old gas out, drain as above and then run until dry.

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,

The shaft is tapered and will have a bolt in the center, loosen the bolt enough so you can tap on the end of the bolt. This should release the shaft, if not there should be 2 hole that you can thread a bolt into to push the connection apart.

Which engine on your unit do you have?

There are 11 different 225 models there shoule be 2 letters in front of your model number I need those letters.

The 907209 is a 23 Hp Kohler engine unit and the 907210 is a 22 Hp Robin(Onan) unit.

Looking at the slot in the side of the fuel tank it appears that the bottom pan has to be separated from the unit. That would involve unmounting anything with wires attached from the base and supporting them. Engine frame, transformer / reactor, side panels, end panels battery and lower brace. I don't see any other way. I would try working from the engine end.

In all seriousness
I would contact Millerweld here: http://www.millerwelds.com/service/contactus.html
Mention your on a very remote worksite, have the replacement part in hand and would like to know if there was a service manaul or any techical assistance available for the tank change.

Even with my 40 years of experience this would be a task I would have to study up close and personal to sort out exactly what the sequence would be to change the tank. It appears to be a very major evolution that could go very wrong very quickly resulting in some major damage if you are not careful.
