I cut mine as well, but put cut them between two mini vise grips to control the gas into a container. You won't believe how much gas comes out on a tank that you think is almost empty

Take 2 small pair of needle nose vise grips clamp off both sides then cut it in the middle this will prevent gas from leaking all over the place then let it drain outside or in a bucket and like others have said replace with quick disconnects.

I'll likely siphon the tank first. Thanks for the tips. I think I'll go with the HD piece, I can't see using standard worm gear clamps where they are so visible.

If you get the small clamps for fuel injection they look like stock. You could cut the bolt down if you wanted to as well.

I stayed with black oem clamps, screw on one look cheesy to me, I have the tool for it (pair of dikes will work too) and also have a tank drain kit that goes in between the tank and inlet, idle the engine and point the nozzle into something and the tank is drained.
