whats the procedure? Just open it up and let it drain? or try and
crank the engine with it removed to get some gas/crud out of it?

Just open and leave it. The stuff is thinner than 20W.

was a tiny bit of very thin oil on the end of the bolt.

That's not a guaranteed. On the bigger OMVLs, you have 2 outlets, one top
and one bottom. If you run the gas outlet from the bottom one, then you
should be OK. If not, then you'll have a plug of some kind on the bottom
outlet which you can use to drain it.

I also have a lovato one on the car which has a drain plug at the bottom

It was really simple. The filter was totally blocked with iron
filings.
They stripped it down, cleaned everything and put me a new filter in)

Why did nobody suggest checking that? ;)

I didnt even know there was a filter there!

I must have just been frequently visited by the iron filing fairy. The
guy there didnt think it would be the filter immediately either. First
guess was a sticky solenoid.

He chased down where the blockage was by loosening the pipes off till
we got hissing.

I had a chat with them about LPI kits while i was there as they sound
like fun but they all have in-tank pumps which dont last long - and i
can see why from the amount of crud blocking my filter!
