Will you be doing this in the middle of the night ?

Spot on. I tried this with my Astra after a catastrophic engine failure and about £80 of diesel left in the tank. I unhooked the fuel pipe after the pump, as it enters the engine, as it was easier to access. Remember to have the ignition on so the dashboard lights are lit up (but not started obviously). It took me a bit of searching to find the right relay as the Handbook and Haynes weren't very helpful, but otherwise this was really easy. Thank you.

Straight to the point and no waste of time begging for subscriptions.Excellent presentation.

Great video! It was a breeze to drain the tank in my Santa Fe 2006 3.5L V6. First I had to remove the rear seat which was easy and put a 5/16 fuel hose at the pump discharge and almost I empty the tank. Second I removed the ground at the battery terminal to on and of the pump as in the video. I found the relay and use the paper clip to activate the pump and the gas pumped in the gas can. Thanks a million. God bless you.

Filled the car with the correct fuel and off we went!! Access to the selanoid was a bit of a fiddle and involved removing some of the drivers side dash. VW 08 Tiguan An easy solution thank you

Awesome jumper idea there. Most impressive thing is not even a drop spilled on the fender. EXCELLENT

Worked perfect. I found the Relay with picture on the side of it. Found the 20A fuse also. Had a hose that was just the right size and length. Went smooth as could be. The 1997 Ford F150 had been sitting for 5 years. The gas was a red/brown color. I poured 4 gallons of fresh gas in for my first step of starting it. Thanks

Worked perfectly (albeit the flow rate isn't blisteringly fast - which is probably a good thing). I had a bit of an issue identifying the correct relay, it seems no two cars are the same!. I went for the posh option over a paperclip and used a piece of wire with crimped spade terminals on each end.

Hmmm, bit more than just a paper clip..... 😉

Thanks for showing this. I've got a notice from my City's Code Enforcement that I've got to move an older vehicle that was my work truck. I broke my ankle some time back (during mid-Covid), and it is still slow to be healing. And, fucking sadly, surgery is not an option, because it has to heal normally. I think they said it is the navicular bone, and surgeries are hard to get right and it'll always give problems if it doesn't heal correctly. So, I'm trying to manually heal it without surgery. Thus, my work truck has sat there a little longer than it should. So, I've got to get the gas out, put new in, get it inspected, and get a Texas state sticker. Then, the CE of my small little town will quit fucking with me, I hope, so thank you. I don't understand why it's such a big problem, but I've got neighbors that call if your grass gets over 7 inches tall, if your trash is missed by one day, if you park one tire in the grass, etc. So, I hope that this will get my Nissan Armada running again; or, at least, get new gas and not have the city of my ass. Thanks.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant. So simple!

Good video. One critique I have is that using the negative battery cable around gasoline vapors can cause an explosion, especially if someone happens to do it in a garage! The safer alternative way is to remove/ replace the fuel pump fuse to start/ stop the pump. This instead of the potentially sparking battery cable, which can make big sparks! Also, simply turning the ignition key on and off with the relay "bridged", as you demonstrate, may do it, -though I'm not sure... No doubt this method is a great boon to people beating their heads against the wall trying to siphon. But if one guy in a million blows up with the battery terminal sparks...

@Nathanation88

Gina Marie, the ignition would only effect the switching/signal side of the relay (therefore do nothing once bridged) and the fuel pump supply fuse would likely be in the engine bay anyway, making it even more dangerous because you're arcing in the fuse box vs at the battery, with a much larger contact and less other stuff around. You would risk damage in the fuse box also, irrespective of vapour ignition risks. The 'safe' (er) way would be to not remove the relay and energise it with another source, however this is much more tricky/fiddly. if you can locate the fuse that controls the signal side of the relay (within the cab) then you can remove that fuse and attach a 12v power supply there. mA vs A = much less risk of arcing. This would bypass fuel pump control circuits. HOWEVER, some pumps prime when the ignition is turned to "on" (not start), in which case you just need to disconnect the fuel supply line as the pump will continue to prime as it won't build system pressure.

BRILLIANT!

Just used this method with my 2000 corolla to drain bad gas out of the tank (2 years). The fuel relay is inside the car but it was in a very inaccessible area (underneath the dash on the driver's footwell). I bought a toggle switch and with using 2 flattened copper wires to use as prongs I was able to use the switch to turn on/off the pump. Super convenient and safe, no sparks.

Now I can die in peace.

I can testify that this works. I did it on a 2010 hyundai sonata because my little bro who just got his license car put diesel in it by accident.

Excellent tip - thank you!
