So fuel pump is mounted by steering rack and I need to get the last ~ 5 gallons out.
If I drop the pump and disconect the outlet hose, till it dump on me? or will I have time to hook up a hose? I want to just turn on the pump and pump it into my 5 gal gas can(s). thoughts. This is a single inlet, single outlet pump. I could also tap in back by engine, fuel filter, fuel injector loop, fuel presure tap, etc. |

So, using vise grips, pinch the outlet line of the tank closed, remove the pump and let it drain into a container.
Otherwise, connect power to the pump and put the pressure hose in the engine compartment in a container and pump away. The problem here is possibility of sucking the crap that is in the bottom of the tank when it starts to run dry. |
