The Bobcat parts website is not working so I can’t even check to make sure your machine has a drain or not.

If it does, the drain plug is normally located under the machine between the back tires. There will be a small access panel and inside you will see a steel plug that is the drain. Be aware that some machines also have this same plug as the chain case drain so you may see two plugs or only one that could be for either.

If you do have a fuel drain it will be a huge mess removing the fuel especially if the tank is full. Your looking at probably over 30 gallons just gushing out.

Another much slower way to remove fuel is through the intake fuel line. You can disconnect it and either figure out a way to syphon or pump the fuel out.
