Unless you have a brushless drill. Or you're outside, with any breeze or no breeze. Or you know, you're getting the gas out cause it's not good anymore. Or the fact that there's a hose off each end meaning your drill shouldn't be anywhere near the fuel. I myself would pump it into a bottle or can so it's not open to air. Safety first but it's not going to blow up. Idk. Sparks are what ignite it but it's gotta be a good mixture, and the spark has to be powerful enough. Also, only use a pump designed for fuel to move fuel... Most cars you take off back seat to access it it's better to see inside tank anyways, and you can check pump, clean stuff, etc etc...if it is the type that is under seat/trunk liner. Trucks are easy. I don't have much experience in fuel stuff so don't listen to me p

My favorite fuel stabilizer for mowers, boats and etc. here in Florida is "Marvel Mystery Oil". I use about 8 oz per 5 gallons. It also gives extra power and cleans the top end of carbon. Price per oz is affordable and not crazy like others brands also.

You got lucky. Ford didn't put a hose block in that year of car. Most cars after 1984-85 do. Best method I have found is go to your preferred auto parts store and get a 12 volt fuel pump. Find the feed under the hood to the carb or fuel rail. Put the fuel pump on the hose coming from the fuel tank and connect electric fuel pump and run into an appropriate container. NOTE! MOST gasoline/petrol fuel pumps ARE NOT compatible with diesel fuel.

A few major points to remember. Always change the fuel filter shortly after changing fuels. Also if it held ethanol fuel you may need to make sure that the various objects inside of the tank, mainly the fuel gauge float and the pump, are working properly and not seized due to rusting. Keep an eye out for signs of rust in your fuel tank as ethanol gas is hygroscopic and can easily rust the interior of tanks if left for extremely long periods., especially at lower fuel levels.

This will not work for any newer cars. There is a ball check valve in the line that will stop you. You have to get a small 1/4 inch plastic tube that is used for icemakers. You cut the end of the tube on an angle to help get past the obstruction. Once you get it in place you can use a compressor to blow air into the tank with a rag around the opening, the pressure in the tank will start a syphon. It works, just takes some time.

Unless the gas is super old, and mind you this is tedious. Line a funnel with a coffee filter, run gas through that. Then use in your 4 cycle small engine like a lawnmower, sometimes good to mix with some fresh gas along. You might be able to give some of the gas away. Goes without saying, do not let the already stale gas sit around in your mower for very long either, like past season. Also do not reuse the coffee filter for breakfast.

If I’ve had a car sitting a year is the gas bad?

Not necessarily... personally if its under a half tank I would run it with some fresh gas on top. Anything more than a year I would start to question it.

@AdamzGarage4 ай бұрын
@@teslamr7333 honestly, if it was only a year, if the tank isn't full, I would put a few gallons of high octane fuel in it and run it out . It takes a couple of years for gas to start to varnish.

Question .. I found a very thick glue sticky stuff inside the tank and allover the fuel pump .. is it normal ?! , it's like carpet glue ! The car doesn't start and it sitting for 6 month .
@AdamzGarage3 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't say that was normal. Especially sitting for just 6 months. After awhile gas will turn into varnish, which can be sticky. So it's possible. It's usually a light brown color.

Can I drain the gas out by taking off fuel line under the hood and having the fuel pump pump it out ?
@AdamzGarage Жыл бұрын
Yes, that's definitely possible, you would have to set something up to catch the fuel as you crank the engine. Not sure if your working with a carbureted car or fuel injection.

Obviously disconnect, your coil wire, plug wires? . You wouldn't want to cause a spark if you had fuel spillage.

Hey brother someone is coming to my house to do this job for me, just take out all the gas how much would you charge for this job ? Also I wanted to ask if this method gets all of the gas out or just most of it ? Because there’s diesel in mine and I need it out ASAP
@AdamzGarage3 жыл бұрын
Hey. I'm in upstate NY. If I were to charge someone I would probably do it for like $100. But I'm a hobbyists. If this guy is a professional mechanic he may get more? Also on older cars it's pretty straight forward. As long as he can get the hose to the bottom of the tank he should be able to get 95% of it. Put some fresh gas on top and you should be fine.
