- A quick video on the easy way to drain your fuel tank.
I've done this a few times the hard way of using hand pumps, lifting the tank and pouring out. However I've found this very easy way to drain the tank using the in tank pump.
not gonna lie, that intro made me think id need a lot more tools lol ty for video
I know you didn’t just put “easily” on this caption 🤣
That's exactly what I was thinking!
That's great but quite often tanks are being drained because the fuel pump is no longer functional and the the tank is being emptied to change it (pump) out.
Or the gas is bad.
if this is the easy way, I don't want to know the difficult way!
Dude thats freaking genius yall saved me so much time thank you
Simple but effective method, thanks.
Greatest Troll of the decade 😂
Hi is very good video to show my Mercedes 2014 I put the wrong gas how much can I fix for drain out ?
Good for a top up but it doesn't get the lot out if you are trying to drain your tank
Yeah, but you have to take your other car apart, remove the upholstery and access your in-tank pump.
Only on the car with fuel,
depends on the model. in mine the rear seat folds up with two bolts to reveal the access port.
good and easy idea and clean!
Is there any danger of the fuel pump overheating especially when you're getting down to the last of the gasoline?
Why would it matter
Over a year ago I bought gas that’s been sitting in a vehicle and it’s running rough.. but yet I’ve got no warning signs showing on the dash. I’d like to just drain it and put newer gas in at first and if it still does it I can always reuse what was in the tank. Thanks for this!!!
I'm going to do it this way thank you
What if I got a truck? And the tank and the pump are up underneath the bed where I can't get to without removing the tank question markand if i'm going to remove the tank , I might as well just dump it out instead of doing that. Is there an easier way without removing the tank or half to get to that pump
Not only simple but also safer to do this way, the only danger is, if you forget to stop the pump when the tank is empty, the pump running dry could be destroyed.
Loved. Brilliant 👍
it would have been a great help if you showed the part where you disconnected the fuel line from the engine and connected it to the hose. It does not help me as is
How to get around the anti siphon ball ?
The fuel is going from the pump to the other car, not the other way around. So the siphon ball doesn't matter, it will fill the tank like a regular petrol pump.
😂
Hello.. is that those two cables black and red are (-) and (+) ,could it be conected to battery?
Basically the idea is to activate the fuel pump, but not sending the fuel for engine, but sending the fuel to other tank, is it?
In this we hooked them up to available - and + so we could turn the pump on and drain it into another car.
You could do this with just a battery and hosing going where ever you want to move the fuel - please bare in mind petrol is more volatile and you might need to take more safety measures.
Has anybody tried this yet
Can't I just use the original fuel pump wiring to run the pump? I assume it will run constantly in an effort to prime the system and bring up the pressure, or does it automatically shut off?
I know that some Mazda models don't start the pump until the engine is actually running. On cars that do prime, I think the prime period only lasts for a few seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON position. Pump starts again when engine is started.
@@paulfoley6602 Thank you. I will be trying this on a MKIV Jetta, I'll bring a drill battery along just in case.
@@ijible Don't go near the tank with any power tools, or anything that could cause a spark! Play it safe and siphon from the fuel pump opening under the rear seat. Be careful what ever you do....
@@paulfoley6602 that fuel pump opening is not safe from fire and explosion from a spark, you must be very careful around gasoline.
a video on draining gasoline with sparks flying at the beginning, obtuse
It's also a diesel....
Easy as that 😂
I am just wondering in which point of my life will i need to refuel a real battle tank!!!
I was looking because my pump is dead. Of course it died on a full tank. Fml
I need cheaper alternative lmao
Its not fucking easily way.
Oh
This is stupid. A single paperclip will save you much time!!
That doesn't look easy. Lol
