What is the best way to do this? Drain the tank, and then start the engine and let it run out of fuel, or do something else?

If it is a month or more then better to drain. You should be fine for 3 weeks. Shoot I bet we could even find a pilot or two that would be happy to fly your plane around while your gone. You know just as a favor type thing. [Laughing] [Laughing] -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
