How to Siphon Gas out of a modern vehicle

[@johnkimberley8003]

Great to see someone getting straight to the point. Brilliant method. 9 years later and still a useful video.

[@Taylortrucking]

Car sat for 5 years tried to siphon out the old school way and it wouldn’t pump anything out this is the info I needed thank you!

[@shawnbebout]

I will be trying this tonight or this weekend. Being an Electrician, I think you should be able to ohm out your relay to identify which terminals you need to jumper. If you have a dead short between two terminals, that should be your coil. Once you identify your coil, the other two will be your "open" contacts that complete the circuit to your fuel puymp when the relay is energized.

Totally beat me to it… soooo, something like th ZZZT❗️🤬. Think I’ll stick w the paper clip. At least til I decide to change professions. Thanks for this- surprisingly not a topic addressed in the other 400 “siphon gas” vids. I had figured I was too stupid to even steal gas there til I changed the wording in my search!

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Just connect terminal 87a to ground (I think its terminal 13). It may be 87 on some cars, but the two parallel ones are 87 and 87a (the ones that it will switch between).

[@dennis7829]

@@RipRoaringGarage 87a = NC, the energized contact is 87 to suppy 12V to pump.

This method helps out alot I got rear-ended and my truck is totaled and didn't want to do it the old-school way thank you for making this video

[@rashellyohn5128]

Thanks Awesome. But you say pull out the fuse then turn the key or leave the fuse in then turn the key on... So do I have to take out the fuse at all? Jump the relay. pull out fuse turn key, then put fuse back in and it will start to drain. Ty

[@randomno0]

By the time I am reading your comment, it shows “6 months old”. Here’s my take on the confusion with the fuse: If you want to have “local control” to start the pumping from under the hood, keep the fuse out until you are ready with the hose securely in the gas can/“gerry jug” and then plug in the fuse. If you want to do it from inside the vehicle (I don’t recommend this for safety’s sake!) then leave the fuse in but have the gas can visible near you when turning the key so you can monitor the filling. This scenario really makes me nervous. At gas stations, we aren’t supposed to reenter our vehicles during fueling operations or we can puck up a static charge that can spark when we return to the grounded fuel nozzle. Still, if a fire breaks out inside the highly flammable interior while siphoning gas, there’s nowhere to run. From under the hood you have a chance to escape! With that said, if weather allows, do it outside and away from any buildings in case of fire. Hint: Have a good, tested “ABC” fire extinguisher accessible and ready within seconds from the vehicle, just in case!

[@RyanLane2011]

I find it easier and safer to pop the cover from the relay and close the contacts manually. This usually just requires a pocket screwdriver. It also ensures nothing gets shorted on the control side. This came in especially handy when I had to troubleshoot a no spark condition myself and needed to crank the engine from under the hood. Hope it helps.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Ryan Lane Yes, but a lot of relays are glued shut.

[@deplorableb.r.4211]

Worked like a charm. Drained a full tank on an SUV going to the junkyard. Thanks so much!

[@Njennings42]

Thank you sir this was extremely helpful. I knew it could be done, just wasn't sure how to go about it. Got a car I just filled up and the timing chain went out. Not gonna replace it, so the car's going to the scrap yard, and I didn't wanna give away 20 gallons of gas for scrap weight. Much appreciated

[@jamesproctor4858]

I just tried out your advice on draining the fuel tank and it worked like a charm. I did it for a 2003 ford explorer and the fuel relay is # 48 in the engine compartment. I put a jumper between pins 3 and 5 and once you do this the pump start pumping gas. pins 3 and 5 are the large pins on the relay. Thank you very much for your advice.

[@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285]

Did you have to pull the other fuse like he shows and turn the key on???

[@sixtyfiveford]

+David Taylor Awesome..

[@benmudn]

I am surprised you did not WARN of the pressure that could be at the test valve? Unscrewing the valve without relieving the pressure first is a good way to take a gas bath. If you pull the fuse or relay and crank the engine over should lower the pressure, and then take a rag and cover any object (a screw-driver works good) and press in the schrader valve should relieve any more built up pressure in the line.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Ben Bat Yeah, good point. I guess when you know what you're doing it's just normal to know there's a little pressure built up. I'll leave a note on the video.

[@benmudn]

sixtyfiveford I could see some people thinking if the key is off then there would be no pressure. That's how it looks like in your video. Gas in the eyes sucks!! Been there. I pulled a fuel rail that sat for over a year. I thought the pressure would have bleed off. I was wrong.

[@backcountryFLcyclist]

This method worked perfectly on a 2002 Malibu. Jumped the fuel pump relay which is in the engine compartment fuse box, removed the fuel rail pressure release core hooked a hose onto it into a gas can turn the ignition to acc and was able to drain most of the gas out of a car with a spun engine bearing.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Awesome!

[@mrmagniffy]

Thank you sixtyfiveford I was able to retrieve my fuel from my totaled car !

[@sixtyfiveford]

Awesome.

[@Superiorpowerwash]

I had no idea this could be done. I had to get a fuel pump changed out a while back and they said they could not save the gas as they did not have gas cans around, I bet they went and got some when I left. This is an interesting way to empty the fuel tank without sucking on a hose and getting gas in the mouth like back in the day. hahahahaha Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you for this method. Second owner of a '97 Taurus SHO 22 years now!, and been in quiet storage at my home of 16 years. So, yes, about 1/3 tank of 93 octane = old fuel still in the tank. I have been seeking advice on just how to go about removing the fuel before putting it on the road for the car show season. From fuel filter removal to syphoning (which can't be done due to a heavy screen in the filler neck.), to hot wiring the fuel pump at the inertia switch in the trunk! But, today, after watching YOUR presentation, I went out in the garage and found the schrader valve off the fuel rail right on top of the engine! Right near by was the enclosure with the large fuses and relays. I believe I am going to try this! Can you tell me the ID of the hose you used?

[@jamescampolo7824]

I needed to change my fuel filter and also drain some gas from the tank. So once I disconnected the fuel line at the filter, I used your method to run the fuel pump to get the gas.

[@kcuhc84]

This is brilliant! Let's say the fuel pump is shot, what about an external pump to suck the fuel from the fuel port? There would be resistance from the non working fuel pump in the tank though.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Most of the time you can just whack the bottom of the gas tank where the fuel pump is and it will come back to life temporarily. I'm pretty sure there will be resistance if your trying to suck through this port.

[@kd7fht]

I took out the Shader valve but there wasn't enough pressure to keep the engine running so I took another valve and busted the back end off and screwed it in place after taking all the internal part out. I attached a hose and started the engine and pumped all the gas into a can. I was surprised how much fuel came through the hose but still provided enough fuel to keep the engine running.

[@VetteL89]

This was genius. Drained my 2000 Ford Taurus this way. I might have burned out the fuel pump but worked like a charm.

Thank you very much for this; getting rid of a car soon that has half a tank of gas that's only a week or two old.

[@bobbailey8246]

Good video once again, but a good alternative (sometimes) is to find the fuel pump itself and just connect a 12v battery straight onto the pump, having first connected a hose to the fuel line. Saves all that messin' with the relays and stuff! Thanks 65 :-)

[@sixtyfiveford]

Bob Bailey Relays are intimidating and misunderstood. This particular car can only have access to the pump by dropping the tank.

[@bobbailey8246]

[@vrod1a]

Great tip but what if you want to drain the gas in order to change a bad fuel pump located in the fuel tank . ?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Generally you can temporarily revive a dead fuel pump by banging on the bottom of the tank directly below the pump. The jostling frees it up.

[@henkmeiring01]

Dont work on 2005 volvo s40.Even if you close contacts of fuel relay manually.It just blew fuse.And all functions normally :car starts,drive around.Maybe something to do with fuel controle module.PEM if i recall correctly.

[@scottsinfl]

[@808breaksbad.]

So this would NOT work if you are draining the fuel tank if the fuel pump is NOT working (the reason for draining the tank) ?

Thanks for the help. I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora and it took on a lot of water because the filler neck actually rusted through. The design of the filler door allows water to cascade on the top of the filler neck. Add to that there was dirt sticking on the top of the filler neck which held moisture there and I know I need not say more. Would I be able to drop a hose to the bottom of the Aurora's gas tank? I noticed you were working on a late '80s, early '90s Caddy DeVille and were you just using that car for demonstration purposes, or would you have to use that procedure on that car?

How would one drain their tank when the fuel pump doesn't work and the filler neck has a mesh to prevent using a siphon hose?

Whack the bottom of the tank where the fuel pump sits. This will generally bring a dead fuel pump back to life momentarily.

[@arniecummings983]

How do you determine which relay box belongs to the fuel pump? I have three to choose from with the exact same pin layout you described (the other relays have only 4 pins). The Owners Manual identifies the fuse, but not the relay. Can this somehow be isolated with a multimeter? My beloved 2006 Volvo XC90 with 230K miles suffered its last final fatal breakdown (in an economic sense) in the driveway, just as I arrived home from the gas station with a full tank.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks.

[@HeadFlowInc]

But is worthless if the pump is gone out, so if you actually have a bad pump what's the process of siphoning gas through the fuel rail port?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Most pumps will still work a little even if they won't run the car. Banging on the tank can free up a stuck fuel pump as well. But if it doesn't, there really isn't anyway in except for dropping the tank or pulling the fuel filler neck at the tank after the check ball and siphoning from there.

[@Bbbuddy]

Why pull and re-insert the fuse?

[@grassroot011]

Why pull the fuse when it needs to be in to power the pump?

Use the fuse as your on off switch.

But you still need the key on right?

Some cars yes and some no.

[@grassroot011]

The vehicle in this video appears to predate cambus module systems in cars. 2013 Chevy equinox I'm working on I now know has a fuel pump control module in the trunk. There is not a relay for JUST the fuel pump. Also there are 2 fuel pumps. Low pressure in the tank. High pressure pump on the side of the engine. There are 2 fuel line disconnects, one on either side of a schrader valve before the High pressure pump. There is a relay labeled "Run/Crank". I believe this only sends signal to the fuel pump module and engine module and so jumping this relay WILL NOT run the low pressure pump continuously. My guess is in order to turn the pump on and have it stay on one would have to find the wires from the module that power the pump and jump them there. OR disconnect the pump wires at the tank and jump 12v directly to the pump. There might also be a way to manually turn the pump on with a dealer level scan tool. Your video does not cover exactly these issues. AT ALL. It's also possible to have to jump 5v at the module to send signal to turn the pump on. IDK. I've only been looking into this since late last night. I was looking for and easy solution. There probably is. However, I do not understand enough about 2013 GM EcoTec fuel systems to Know how to turn on the low pressure pump continuously. And I do not think you do either based on the unhelpful and useless to me reply you left.

@@chad4132 The entire point of a relay is to pass the final high current to whatever device you're running; fuel pump in this scenario. The computer will send a low amperage signal to the relay to turn on or off the fuel pump.

There is no link to the Tired Shocks and PVC support piece that you mentioned at the end of this video... I can't find that video... What is the title of it ???

does this work with a 1999 lincoln town car?

[@patrickbabcock7259]

??? The initial fuel pump run you hear before starting your engine continues until the correct manifold pressure is reached in the fuel rails. Wouldn't the fuel rail never reach injection pressure in your configuration, and the pump continue to run without screwing around with the relay? Or does the ECM cut out the pump when it detects the pressure drop?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Few cars actually have a manifold pressure sensor, especially older ones. So the initial prime is solely timed. On a car that had manifold pressure sensing, I would think it would cut out after a few seconds as well, otherwise if there was a leak it would continue to pour gas(car crash)

[@patrickbabcock7259]

sixtyfiveford That would be what the fuel pump cut off switch does (car crash). Though I suspect the ECM would time it out as you suggest.
