Hey guys as you all know my magna was in a crash and i want to get the petrol out of the tank as there is 70ltrs in there how do i get it out.

What can i do to get it out.

I tried syphoning it out but the pipe i have dosent want to go into the tank it keeps hitting something on the way down like a mesh cover or something.

Tried putting another hose on the fuel pump hose but u need the engine cranking to get any petrol out.

Any ideas has anyone done somehting similar in removing petrol i need your help ASAP.

Thanks

Tom

take off yur back seat go into the tank that way and syphor it out

so i would need to remove the fuel pump from the car right.

Tom

errrr drain plug at the bottom of it?

yep, you're probably better off disconnecting it at the filter and letting it dribble out.


Tried siphoning out of TN's full tank. 30 mins & several mouthfuls of gas later, gave up.
There's just too many baffles & traps in an unleaded tank's filler to make it easy.

Much easier siphoning leaded fuel... :P (showing my AGE)

Well i syphoning it going thru the fuel pump so its going really slowly just got 5ltr out since my last post.

There is no drain plug in the magna fuel tank nothing in the manual i have and u cant see any drain plug at the bottom of it.

There should be a blue ( i think it is blue) connector on the firewall inside the engine bay with basicly a blanking cap on it. im pretty sure its a 3 pin connector with 2 wires going to it. If you bridge out these 2 wires it will run the fuel pump constantly. Just remove feed hose and pump into buckett while relaxing with a beer as you wait.

y do it through the fuel pump ??

just take it out

simple meh, im lazy :P

fair enough

life is spose to be easy any way

i swear there is a drain plug on the bottom!

if that fails, take your fuel filter out, replace it with a long hose and run it to a drum

ign on a few times over.

Are you high yet?
