removing fuel
Is it ok to use the fuel pump to remove fuel from the fuel tank?
If so, how do you remove that goofy outlet connection? Ther is about a third of a tank and i caannot get a siphn hose down the filler neck. Something is stopping it 18" in.

I ran a wire from the positive battery terminal down to the fuel pump. Just pop off the cover on the positive terminal and hook up some alligator clips. It'll drain that tank in a matter of minutes.

Yep. You'll hear it start to suck air. When it does, turn it off. It's okay to suck it dry, but NOT okay to keep running the pump after. The fuel keeps the pump cool.
BTW, what are you working on? In-tank mods?
