I would be very worried about using a Shop Vac. to evacuate a fuel tank that
has contained fuel. The picture of a fuel/air mixture flowing past those
sparking brushes in the Shop Vac.looks like it could be pretty exciting with
possibly disastrous results.

Excellent point Fred! I actually had a nightmare about this very thing. I really
need to get out more....
I used a pneumatic vacuum pump I got from Harbor Freight for about 10 bucks. Just
connect it to the vent line with a vacuum gage "T"ed in. Don't let the
differential pressure get above 1 PSI !!!!! do the work outside with no sources
of combustion nearby.
