Uh, no. Sparks and such from the sucker (if electric-powered) might not
play nice with diesel fuel. One of those cheap hand-powered siphon
pumps would be fine.

of the fuel you left in the tank. If the screen is plugged, not all
will come out the hose. Unscrew the fuel strainer. It is a very large
hex. Water pump pliers (channelocks) can work well. Let the rest of
the fuel in the tank run down your arm, soak your shirt, and puddle
under your back. Put the new one in. Be sure the rubber seal is in
place. Tighten. Attach the hose to the hard line. Set up a tent in the
back yard 'cause you won't be allowed back in the house until you
don't smell like raw diesel anymore. Plan on a couple days. -- Philip
Use $2 oil sucker and empty the tank?
