What do you think?
The hand pump sucks too slow. What if I take a spare fuel pump, some spare hose and a couple electical leads and this to siphon off my tank for removal... Is this a stupid idea? Will I end up on the news? |

And if you have FI, you can use the relay board jumper trick to force the
fuel pump to run when the engine is not. See the Fuel Pump for Carbs Tech Article if you aren't familiar with this jumper. Just be careful about your Electronic ignition or coil while running the pump with the Ignition key on. Some can fry if the engine happend to stop with the points engaged or the electronic module enable by the magnet sensor. It would be best to disconnect the ignition system. I'd disconnect the coil at a minimum. But depending on how much gas you have by the time you read all these posts and rig up something, the gas could have drained out from the fuel lines in the lower engine compartment by simple gravity. --- bill |
