How do you Syphon Gas out of a 1987 Cadillac Allante'?

The Fuel Pump just went out on my 1987 Cadillac Allante' with a little over 3/4 tank of gas still in the tank. I have to drop the tank to change the fuel pump and want to remove most of the gas to make this job manageable.. Any Clues?How do you Syphon Gas out of a 1987 Cadillac Allante'?ONe way would be to use an electric pump and hook to the gas line and pump it out.



There are some pumps that attach to drills, for like pumping water. I don't know if you can make an attachment to make it smaller and pump gas.

Or just buy an 12 volt electric fuel pump, for temp use. like this one.

It is 12 volt and can be hooked to the battery with wires, and a switch added on to one of the wires.

And hook it up to the gas line somewhere, use a long hose to dump into a can.

Check with auto parts stores but I think the pumps will probably cost a bit more.



Syphoning by hose by mouth, is dangerous. If you do try it, use a clear tygon tubing, 1/2 inch and around 8 foot long, to go down into the tank and then down into the can.



Watch the gas as it comes up, as you suck on the hose,. Once it starts down the hose outside the car, stop sucking, it will keep going. PUt the hose into the can. When can is full, just hold hose up

from can high enough so that is stops flowing, but still has gas in the line coming out of the car. Then put it back into the empty can, and it will start running again.

(from experience when a teenager)



One note, however. Some cars have screens to stop hoses from entering the tank. Your car could possibly have one. They prevent stealing gas from your tank.



Best bet is to use a pump.How do you Syphon Gas out of a 1987 Cadillac Allante'?You can do this with a five foot hose, but be very careful, a mouthful of gas can KILL you. Shove the hose down the filler pipe. Suck on it a couple of times then quickly aim the hose at a container lower than the fuel tank. Good luckHow do you Syphon Gas out of a 1987 Cadillac Allante'?there is a fuel filter you have to remove before you can remove the tank use that line to remove all the gas you can from tank, if it doesn't come out freely then get some kind of pump to remove it also remove the gas cap when you do this will help
