my t/a is down for repairs. will be a while before i can get $$ to finish. was looking to drain the fuel out of the tank. cant find anything in a repair manual that details it. the bulb siphon that i got at the auto parts store wont get into the tank thru the filler tube. anyone have any experience on how to drain the tank easily? thanks.

we used at a auto shop was a peice of rubber fuel line with a hole cut on the end and used compress air to start a vacuum to pull the fuel out other trick was we used we kept a weak but working fuel pump with a hose , put in the filler and let it pull the fuel out2009 Honda Civic EX- the daily beater

well problem is getting into the fuel tank past the filler. seems to be some sort of baffle at the end of the tube. guess i should of been more specific. but thanks for the compressed air idea. that does seem easy if i can get a tube into the tank- thanksprevious- '82 recaro. current-bone stock '02 t/a 6sp base model.Comment

use a rubber hose, it will snake in, or you could disconnect the filler and just go from the opening of the tank2009 Honda Civic EX- the daily beater

Remove the schrader valve from the fuel rail test port, hook up a rubber fuel line hose about 5-6 feet long. Turn the key to run and let the fuel pump empty the gas into spare 5 gallon gas cans.

I did that until I figured out there is a 'test port' for the fuel pump... the little grey single wire connector near the pcm; just apply 12v and go, just dont cook your pumpOriginally posted by Joe 1320
