I have used a HF battery powered transfer pump. Pumping the gas into cans sitting in the front trunk.
You have to take off the tank inlet to fit the pump down in there.  |

Clay's method sounds like it would work well also, just a bit more work. Bottom line, using something to pump the gas out works best for me. |

Clay's method sounds like it would work well also, just a bit more work. Bottom line, using something to pump the gas out works best for me. I take the transfer pump setup when traveling long distances with the 914 on the trailer. It has two purposes. If the pump in my 914 fails, the one in the transfer pump setup is the same as the one in the car, so I can swap them. The second reason is that I keep the 914 tank full while it is on the trailer. If we get in the middle of nowhere and the low fuel light comes on, I can always transfer the gas from the 914 to the tow vehicle. The pump, hoses and wires don't take up much space, and it cheap insurance. Clay |
