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

Great video! I've got a '69 Mercury that's been sitting for 30 years. Gonna use this trick to get the old gas out!

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.

thanks. I have the same pump and have been struggling since morning. so glad youtube showed me your video. I cut the hose the way you showed and jacked up the car and voila!🤟

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.

Bad fuel could definitely cause that. I ended up having carburetor problems as well because it sat so long. But mine sat for like 10 years. Good luck hope you get her running.

My car also has been sitting for 12 years. You have inspired me to try this method first. So relieved to see that the old gas did not turn to a solid yet. I bet it stunk!! How did you dispose of it?

Love marvelous mystery oil!!!

Where can I buy that pump ?

Got a truck that’s been sitting for 2 years. I’ve been trying to get an ignition interlock off. I absolved everything with the court and no longer require it, but the truck quit running midway through and the company began charging me for not taking it to be downloaded, even though the interlock ruined multiple batteries and alternators. I’m going to remove it myself and see if it will turn over, if it will I know it will run, didn’t want to pump more bad gas through it so this will hopefully help me to drain the majority of the tank and see if it will hit

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.

There was no anti-siphon obstacle in the filler tube?

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.

Don’t know who will be reading this but when I drain all the fuel out of my generator Motorcycle or boat are use that fuel in my weedeater and lawnmower all summer!!!

@@tittyrino as I mentioned 4 cycle equipment. The passages in 2 cycle carburetors, such as chain saws & weedeater tend to be smaller, and you are mixing that old stale gas with oil. So I'd be inclined to stay away from using the "recycled" gas in 2 cycle equipment, 4 cycle I've been getting away with.

What's the thing called that pumps out the old gas?

Hey brother I’m an idiot I accidentally put $9 of diesel in my car and then I put $25 of gas hoping that would be better but now I’m considering just trying your method and draining it all out... what do you recommend ? Should I drive it with the $25 and $9 of diesel or do you think it’ll break down

You'll probably be fine if its an older truck or car. . Probably smoke like hell. If its a newer car I would try and drain it. The fuel injectiors Probably won't like the diesel could possibly cause more problems.

@@jony7g884 nice car. Hopefully the diesel burns out okay. If it seems okay after a few miles, maybe put some more good gas on top. But if it starts running real bad I would drain it. Good luck, hope it turns out good 👍

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

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.

How do you dispose of old gasoline??

My local town will take hazardous product a couple of times a year. I would check with your local town. Also your states department of conservation is a good resource for hazardous waste information.

Yes, put the gasoline in "some kind of container." That's real safe!
