A draining system for draining fuel from a fuel tank is disclosed. The fuel tank includes a holding chamber for holding fuel and a fill port assembly for adding fuel to the holding chamber. The fill port assembly includes a fill port passageway in fluid communication with the holding chamber and a valve system for regulating a flow of fuel through the fill port passageway. The draining system includes a coupling member having a drainage passageway. The coupling member is detachably connected with the fill port assembly. An actuating member selectively actuates the valve system to permit fuel to flow from the fill port passageway into the drainage passageway. An outlet conduit is in fluid communication with the drainage passageway such that fuel can flow from the drainage passageway into the outlet conduit. A flow regulating member is configured to regulate flow of fuel through the outlet conduit.
