Swapping from Alky to Meth

Do I just drain the tank or do I have to drain the lines too to swap over?

Meth is alky....just a different form of it...

Unless I am totally missing the point, just fill the tank with methanol and get on with it. Unless you are talking a crystal form that is so popular around here
