How to drain gasoline from the tank of a modern car

In the life of car enthusiasts, in some cases there is a need to urgently drain gasoline from the tank.
For example, when the wrong gasoline was poured into the tank, or the quality of the fuel is very poor, or the gasoline needs to be drained to repair the fuel system. We offer you several simple ways to drain gasoline from the tank of a modern car. The essence of the problem is that if draining fuel from the tanks of old domestic cars and foreign cars does not cause difficulties, then, for example, in modern VAZ models with an injector, a special filter mesh located in the filler neck of the gas tank prevents draining gasoline. This mesh serves not only as a filter, but also as a good protection against thieves, preventing a hose from being inserted into the tank through the neck and draining gasoline.

Most often, the need to drain gasoline from the tank occurs in the following foreign cars and VAZ cars:

Renault Logan, Ford Focus, Chevrolet Lanos and Niva;
Lada: Granta, Kalina, Priora;
VAZ: 2109, 2110, 2114 and 2115.

For a visual video on how to drain gasoline from the tank of a VAZ car with an injector, see the end of the article.

When does it become necessary to drain the fuel from the tank?

The need to drain fuel from the tank occurs if the tank is full (excess fuel is sent to cans). Draining fuel may be necessary during repair work or to help someone out on the road (if that someone is in a difficult situation).

Note! It is best to drain gasoline on the street, and not in the garage, for example. Fuel vapors are toxic, and if you dump fuel indoors, you may inhale the fumes and get sick.

During repairs

All fuel from the tank will have to be drained if:

It's time to change the fuel filter.
The fuel pump needs to be replaced.
The tank must be flushed (if low-quality fuel has been there for a long time or the tank has become clogged).
The fuel tank must be replaced with a new one (broken, damaged by rust, etc.).

If you need to share with someone

The law of driver mutual assistance is as old as the world.

On the road, someone stalled due to “running out of fuel” and asks for help.
Another driver needs fuel to heat the cabin (if, for example, a strong snowstorm catches you on the road, and you have to wait for the Ministry of Emergency Situations for some time, and there is not enough space in your car for everyone).
Fuel is required to refuel the generator when the battery is low.

Ways to drain gasoline from the tank of a foreign car

If your car has a mesh installed in the gas tank, and you can’t drain the gasoline with a hose, don’t worry. There are several other simple ways to drain fuel from the gas tank of a foreign car.

In any case, it is worth remembering that gasoline should only be drained from the tank in an open area, so as not to be poisoned by fuel vapors, which are very harmful to human health.

Method 1

Many modern cars have a special drain hole at the bottom of the gas tank that allows you to completely drain all the fuel from the tank. You just need to find this hole, place a suitable container under it and, unscrewing the cap, pour gasoline into it.

This method is very simple, but not all cars have drain holes, and crawling under the car is not always convenient. Therefore, we will consider another option, how to drain gasoline from the tank of a foreign car.

Method 2

In order to drain gasoline from the tank of a foreign car, you need to perform a few simple steps:

Open the hood of your car;
With the engine off, disconnect the fuel hose (coming from the fuel pump) at its connection to the engine.
Place the freed end of the hose into a suitable container for draining gasoline from the tank (bottle, canister, etc.).
Turn on the car's ignition, but DO NOT START the engine! In this case, the fuel pump will turn on for a few seconds and pump fuel. Thus, by turning the ignition on and off several times, you can drain a sufficient amount of gasoline from the fuel tank.
After you have drained the required amount of gasoline, the fuel hose should be reconnected to the engine.

Keep in mind that it is better not to drain all the gasoline from the tank in this way, so as not to damage the fuel pump and not to choke the fuel system of the car.

By the way, on some injection engines of modern foreign cars and cars of the VAZ family, the manufacturer has provided a special fitting that allows you to drain gasoline from the tank without disconnecting the fuel hose from the injector (see the example in the video below).

If the car is fuel injected

It is absolutely impossible to completely empty the fuel system of an injection car using a hose. Therefore, in order to drain gasoline from an injection VAZ 2110, you will need to take a different route. First, you need to open the gas tank itself (neck), after which the algorithm of actions will be approximately as follows:

find the tube located at the bottom of the engine that supplies fuel to the ramp;
remove the clamp from it and disconnect it from the pipe;
turn the ignition key;
in the relay block, determine the one that is responsible for the fuel pump;
after removing it, you need to bridge it, for which it is convenient to use a standard paper clip;
turn on the car ignition;
Drain the leaking fuel into a prepared container, then return the hoses and relays to their places.

Important! Using this method of releasing the fuel system, you should carefully monitor the leaking gasoline - as soon as it “bubbles”, the ignition should be turned off immediately, which will avoid damage to the pump.

The process of “draining” fuel from an injection car is quite clearly demonstrated in the video:

How can you drain gasoline from a VAZ-2114

At least once in his practice, any car enthusiast has been faced with the need to drain gasoline from the car’s tank.
Often such a procedure is extremely necessary if, for example, low-quality fuel was poured. It is impossible in principle to eliminate its negative impact on the power plant in any other way.

In reality there are many more reasons. Sometimes an unfortunate mistake happens at a gas station and the tank is filled with diesel instead of gasoline. Fortunately, such troubles do not happen too often.

Of course, nothing bad will happen if the “non-native” fuel does not get into the power unit. Troubles can be avoided if the diesel fuel is removed immediately. But when the problem is not noticed, and the car drives for some time on such a wild mixture, you will have to start washing all the elements of the fuel system and first of all you need to clean:

It is possible that the filters will also need to be replaced.

Few difficulties arise for owners of old cars - here the problem is solved with the help of a hose or a suitable tube diameter. It is simply inserted into the filler hole and, after pulling up the fuel with your mouth, it is poured into a substitute container. The principle of communicating vessels works for you here.

In new cars, such a “number” will not work.

Therefore, not all car owners know how to drain gasoline from a VAZ-2114. This article is dedicated to this topic.

First option

You will need to completely remove the gas tank in situations where you need to not just drain the gasoline, but literally drain the tank.
For example, this is necessary to remove condensate that has accumulated there, which settles on the walls for a long time and gradually flows to the bottom. When a critical amount of it accumulates, the engine begins to work improperly. Dismantling the tank as a whole can be done without difficulty, but this procedure takes quite a lot of time - up to three hours, depending on experience and the availability of equipment. You will need a lift or, in extreme cases, an inspection ramp or pit.

Before removal, the container will need to be emptied of fuel. It will be great if you guess the moment when the gas just runs out. Otherwise, it is necessary to remove the filler hose directly from the gas tank and pump out excess fuel through the hole. As a result, several liters of fuel and condensate itself will remain at the bottom.

The dismantled tank must be thoroughly washed with pure gasoline or a mixture of gasoline and alcohol. Next, it remains to be dried and returned to the place determined by the designers.

It is worth pointing out that the method described above remains the only one that allows you to completely remove fuel from the gas tank.

Second option

It involves the use of a fuel pump installed in the VAZ-2114 directly in the tank. The disadvantage of this method is the risk of damaging the above-mentioned unit responsible for pumping gasoline.

Draining this way is quick. Here you will need to perform the following procedure:

find a fitting on the fuel rail designed to reduce pressure;
unscrew the nipple from it;
put on a hose of suitable diameter;
power the pump with 12 Volts;
drain the gasoline into a canister or other suitable container.

This option, as noted earlier, is the fastest, but also the most traumatic for the car. In particular, the following can be damaged (clogged):

coarse filter;
the pump itself;
fuel line

Fuel supply system for carburetor engine

1 – tank filler neck with cap 2 – gas tank 3 – float fuel level sensor 4 – fuel intake with filter 5 – fuel lines 6 – fine fuel filter 7 – fuel pump 8 – carburetor float chamber with float 9 – air filter 10 – carburetor mixing chamber 11 – inlet valve 12 – inlet pipe 13 – combustion chamber

Option three

This method will not completely get rid of gasoline in the tank, but in general it is much more effective than the previously described one.
Gasoline is removed directly from the vehicle interior. It will take quite a lot of time. It is also necessary to observe all precautions, because interaction with fuel in a very limited space is associated with a high risk of ignition. It is better to do this outdoors and it is important to ensure active ventilation of the interior. It is also necessary to de-energize the machine's electrical system to prevent an accidental spark. Be sure to have a fire extinguisher ready and ask a friend to back you up.

You need to do the following:

remove the rear seat;
disconnect the fuel pump terminals;
remove it from the tank;
remove fuel using a syringe or rubber bulb.

Some claim that they were able to drain the fuel using another electric pump, but this method is very dangerous because it requires connecting the power.

Those who believe that the correct and easiest option is to run out of gasoline until the power unit stops completely are also wrong. This approach greatly harms the pump. Sometimes it even burns out from running dry, and a new one costs about a thousand rubles.

You can learn more about the procedure in the video below:

Removing gasoline from the car interior

This method cannot guarantee complete removal of fuel, but it is quite effective.

It turns out that you can remove gasoline directly from the VAZ interior. In this case, it is necessary to take a number of security measures. The fact is that working with fuel in a small confined space can lead to big problems. If a spark occurs, ignition and fire may occur. It is impossible to exclude the occurrence of a spark. It may appear even if you have removed the terminal on the battery.

This means that the entire procedure should be done exclusively on the street:

first you need to remove the seat located at the back;
Now you can get to one of the fuel pump modules;
once this is done, you will need to remove the module. Before you begin this task, you need to disconnect it from the system and strain out all the remaining fuel using a syringe or a special rubber bulb.

Advice. You can also use another pump, but then you will need to turn on the electricity.

Remember that you don’t need to use up all the gasoline before the engine stops completely, otherwise you may damage the fuel pump. It’s easy to burn this unit, but replacing the pump will cost you a decent amount.

How to drain gasoline from a VAZ 2114: necessity and solution to the problem

Motorists whose cars have been damaged by low-quality gasoline need to do everything possible to get their car back into working condition. How to drain gasoline from a VAZ 2114? What do you need to know about this difficult process?

Why drain gasoline?

It is necessary to drain gasoline if the car owner previously filled the tank with low-quality fuel. To eliminate any negative consequences associated with the destructive influence of such gasoline, it is necessary to drain all the remaining fuel in the tank.

Poor fuel quality is far from the only reason why motorists waste gasoline. It happens that at gas stations there are cases of topping up diesel fuel. It’s good if the car owner finds out about this quickly enough. Otherwise, he will have to flush not only the tank, but also the fuel pump.

Some car enthusiasts dump fuel in order to make big money from it. For example, a driver can refuel a car in another country at a low price, and then return to Russia and sell the fuel, making a profit. Naturally, we are not considering this option, but are talking only about those cases when it is necessary to drain gasoline in order for your car to continue to serve you faithfully.

Is it possible to drain gasoline from a VAZ 2114 with your own hands?

You can drain gasoline without involving specialists. Every car enthusiast can do this. All you need is to strictly follow the instructions presented below.

Particular care should be taken because gasoline is highly flammable and can cause serious damage not only to your car, but also to your health. It is advisable to carry out all gas tank cleaning procedures outdoors.

You will also need the help of another person. This is due to safety precautions. If a fire occurs, his help may prove invaluable.

How to drain gasoline from a VAZ 2114 tank

On the 2114 model, pumping out fuel is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. The VAZ 2114 is a modern car, so it has a special design for the tank filler neck.

It will not be possible to pump out gasoline even with the help of a dropper tube. It is for this reason that many ways have been invented to drain gasoline from this model. We will consider those that are suitable for ordinary car enthusiasts.

Ways to drain gasoline

In some situations it is necessary to completely dry the tank. The reason for this is that condensation may form in the tank. It is able to settle on the walls, and then mix with gasoline and settle to the very bottom.

Methods

How to drain fuel Situations on the road are different, and it can take us to hard-to-reach places where there are no benefits of civilization nearby. It is important not to get confused, but to remember all, even the most primitive, methods of draining fuel from the tank.

The old-fashioned method of draining fuel is known to everyone: we take a canister, a hose, lower the hose into the tank and draw air from the other end of the hose with our mouth until the fuel flows. Many could at this moment take a fair amount of liquid into their mouths. You could have doused everything around or spilled fuel on the ground because you didn’t have time to lower the hose into the canister in time. The method is primitive, of course, but just in case you need to know it.

The “homemade” method: you will need any tube and rope or clothing laces. We tie a knot at one end of the rope so that it fits snugly against the inside of the tube (this is your piston, which will then pull the fuel out). We wet this unit with water. Now we lower the end with the knot into the tank, and hold the other end in our hands (do not lower it into the canister to collect fuel). Slowly pull the rope through the tube. When the knot comes to the end of the tube, lower the tube into the canister and pull out the rope completely. The fuel should flow into the canister.

Through the fuel pump or return

Draining fuel using a hand pump for pumping out flammable liquids (when purchasing, be sure to make sure that this pump can be used to pump fuel). Hand pumps come in different sizes and configurations. More expensive pumps have various adapters and hoses, but cheap ones don’t have all this, and then you will frantically search for at least some hose in the garage or in the trunk in the middle of the road.

Drain the fuel We connect the necessary hoses, lower one end of the hose into the tank, the other into a container and begin pumping the fuel (into a canister or bucket). It is necessary to pump the pump until the sound of flowing liquid appears. If the tank is full, then one container will not save you; before pumping, prepare several empty containers.

You can drain the fuel through the return line. With the engine off, disconnect the fuel hose (located behind the fuel pump). Place the hose into the canister. Now turn on the ignition, the engine will not work, and the fuel pump will pump fluid as usual. After pumping as much as needed, turn off the ignition and reattach the fuel pipe.

Some cars turn on the fuel pump only for a short time (until the starter starts turning) to increase the pressure in the fuel system. This time will not be enough to drain the fuel from the tank. You will have to turn the starter several times, but no more than 10 - 15 seconds with breaks for cooling.

Remember! If you drain all the fuel through the fuel pump, the fuel pump itself may burn out.

Through the filler neck

You can drain fuel through the filler neck if there is no mesh on it.
Fuel is pumped out through the filler neck using a hose or hand pump (see description above).

Through the cap at the bottom of the tank

Draining the fuel On older car models there is a plug at the bottom of the tank (modern cars no longer have such a plug) through which you can drain the fuel. The principle of operation is simple: we look for this plug at the bottom of the tank, place the fuel container and unscrew the plug. Everything flows by itself.

How to drain gasoline from a car tank?

From time to time, car owners have to drain gasoline from the tank. Sometimes you need a little fuel for a camper stove or to refuel another car. In other cases, it is necessary to drain all the gasoline to repair the fuel system or remove water or low-quality fuel from the tank. On older cars this operation could be done relatively easily. Now we have to face two problems:

The long winding channel leading to the tank does not allow the hose to be pushed into it.
A mesh installed at the filler neck prevents gasoline from draining.

Therefore, it is better to know several methods and apply them depending on the design of the gas tank and the fuel supply system. Below we will tell you how to drain gasoline from cars: VAZ 2109, 2110, 2114, 2115, Grants, Largus, Toyota, Niva, Priora, Patriot, Ford, Chevrolet.

For foreign cars with mesh

In a word, on old cars (except for new VAZs) you can pump out fuel in different ways; there is no special approach. But what about foreign cars whose tank is protected by a mesh. This does not include any hose.

First thing to do. Find a drain hole on such a car. It is located below the bottom.

It will be enough to unscrew the plug and gasoline will flow. If the drain hole is not provided on the machine, you will have to do something differently.

Open the hood.
Find the gasoline supply pipe.
If the engine is running, turn it off.
Remove the hose from the filter.
Have a helper crank the starter.
After turning on the pump, fuel will begin to come out of the hose under pressure.

If draining the fuel with a pump is not impressive, you can insert a bulb into the tube to pump it out. This way things will go much faster. Of course, it is better to place a wide container under the hose. In addition, if a pump pumps out gasoline, it must be given time to cool during draining (the starter must be turned off). If this is not done, the car's electronics will burn out. And most importantly, it is recommended to drain in this way in clean air or in a large room, so as not to be poisoned by gasoline vapors.

New Lada models also do not allow you to conveniently drain gasoline from the tank. The supply hoses of these cars are made curved, the fuel tank is located too low, it will not be possible to drain the fuel using the methods described above. However, there is another way.

At the end of the nozzle rail you need to unscrew the nipple.
Then put a hose on the rail, which at the other end is lowered into the container.
Turn on the ignition.

If you have to pump out fuel periodically, it is easier to purchase a tube for refilling air conditioners. Such a hose can be put on the rail without unscrewing the nipple.

A few words about pumping out fuel. When the starter rotates, it supplies fuel only for a short period of time. To make it drain longer, it is recommended to install a jumper in the fuel pump relay or bridge the contacts in the BC. The last option has a plus - you don’t need to turn on the ignition, but there is also a minus - you can easily install the battery.

Some drivers, however, manage to drain gasoline from the tank in the classic way. You just need to insert the hose into the tank, turning it along its entire length counterclockwise, and place the container as low as possible. For example, this can be done if you lift the car onto an overpass.

Method 1. How to drain gasoline using a hose

The classic method that our grandfathers used. To drain the fuel you need to prepare two things:

A hose (tube), the length of which depends on the design of the tank.
Clean container for gasoline.

In the simplest case, the fuel pumping operation goes like this:

Lower the hose (tube) into the tank so that it is immersed in gasoline.
Cover the free end with your lips and draw in a strong breath.
Direct the hose into the prepared container.

All that remains is to wait for all the fuel to flow out.

To drain only part of the fuel, it is enough to lift the hose above the neck so that gasoline stops flowing out.

Gasoline and octane boosters are harmful to health. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid their entry of fuel and its vapors into the body.

To prevent gasoline from getting onto the mucous membranes or into the stomach, special hoses are used to pump fuel. They are equipped with a bulb that must be squeezed before immersing the tube in the fuel and then released. If the design is not equipped with a check valve, vacuum in the line is created in a simple way:

squeeze the pear;
lower the hose into the gas tank;
plug the hose outlet with your finger;
release the rubber bulb;
remove your finger.

For domestic cars without mesh

The most famous method of draining fuel using a hose with a diameter of 15 mm, which was used by our grandfathers, is quite effective, although dirty. Not everyone knows how to suck gasoline into their mouth. If you are not careful, you can easily spill gasoline or drink it accidentally.

Here's how to properly drain fuel:

a hose 1-1.5 meters long is inserted into the fuel tank;
then the liquid is drawn into the mouth from the opposite end of the tube, which is then quickly lowered into the container;
After the container is completely filled, the hose is pulled out of the tank.

There is a special bulb on sale that perfectly absorbs liquid. You can use it if you don’t want to swallow gasoline.

Blower for draining gasoline

There is another option. You need to take shoe laces and a hose of the same size. Then make a knot at the end of the laces and lower the rope into the hose. The tube is placed in the tank. As soon as you pull the cord, gasoline begins to flow through the tube. It turns out to be something like a piston like a syringe. To avoid any difficulties, it is recommended to soak the rope knot in any liquid in advance.

Method 2. Drain gasoline through the fuel line and the plug at the bottom of the gas tank

If the fuel pump is located not in the tank itself, but near the engine, you can try to drain the fuel through the fuel line. Procedure:

Unscrew the clamp and disconnect the hose going from the tank to the fuel pump.
Place the hose into the fuel container.

Fuel will leak from the gas tank. The main thing is that the end of the fuel line, as well as the fuel container, is located below the gasoline level.

Some cars have gas tanks with drain plugs. If you are the owner of just such a car model, you need to use an overpass or inspection hole to drain the fuel. This is done simply:

Place a container under the drain plug in the gas tank.
Unscrew the plug.
Drain the fuel (all or part of it).
Tighten the plug.

However, plugs at the bottom of the tank are not very common. In this case, the fuel pump will help drain the gasoline. The method is suitable for old modern cars.

Why drain gasoline?

You refueled with low-quality fuel and you need to replace it, or someone else ran out of gasoline and you need to share so that the person can get to the nearest gas station, refueling gas tools, repairing the fuel system... In general, there are a lot of options. Let's start with the simplest - the old-fashioned option. We drain the gasoline using a hose.

We will need a hose with a diameter of 10-15 mm (thinner is better), suitable from a Soviet pump. We insert the hose into the tank and carefully pull the gasoline into us (you can get drunk on gasoline with caution), or if you have a rope or cord, pull it through the hose and tie a knot at the end, the principle of the pump emerges. We insert the end of the hose with the knot (piston) into the tank and pull out the rope, gasoline begins to flow.

When you fill the container, simply pull the hose out of the tank. This option is not always suitable; often there is a mesh in the neck of the tank or it is simply impossible to insert the hose into the tank due to the design of the neck.

Many cars have a tank under the rear seat; after removing the seat, we will see a hatch and wires leading to it - this is a fuel level sensor or a fuel pump. We remove the fuel pump (in one step you can clean the fuel pump mesh and clean the contacts of the rheostat of the fuel level sensor) and drain the fuel using the method described above.

You can also disconnect the hose from the return of the fuel rail and put your hose on the return of the rail. Open the gas tank cap (so as not to create a vacuum), start the engine and in a couple of minutes the fuel pump will inflate the canister. Be careful with gasoline under pressure, fasten the hose responsibly.

Method 3. How to drain gasoline using a fuel pump

The only way to drain fuel from the tanks of most fuel-injected cars is to use the fuel pump. Open the hood and disconnect the fuel hose from the ramp pipe and direct it into a prepared fuel container.

If you then turn on the ignition, the electric pump will start for a few seconds and pump 200-300 grams of gasoline. To pump out more fuel, you need to use one of two options:

Periodically turn the ignition on/off so that the pump pumps gasoline in small portions.
Remove the electric pump turn-on relay and close the pump power contacts. In this case, the pump will pump gasoline until the ignition is turned off.

If you short-circuit the relay power supply circuit instead of the contacts going to the fuel pump, the fuse will blow and you will not be able to start the car . Therefore, first carefully study the wiring diagram and relay pinout.

After pumping out the fuel, do not forget to put the relay with the hose in place and tighten the clamp on the latter.

The described method is not suitable for draining all the fuel from the tank. If the gasoline runs out, the fuel line will become airy and the pump may fail.

You can also drain gasoline from the tank using a mechanical fuel pump. The device has a lever for manual pumping. However, the productivity of this method is extremely low. It should be used when you need to collect 100-200 grams of gasoline.

The option is more complicated.

We remove the main fuel line hose from the fuel line ramp and attach our own hose to it, tighten the connection with a clamp (the pressure in the fuel line is 2-3 Atm.). Insert the end of the hose into the container. We find a block with fuses and a key relay (Usually located in the dashboard on the driver's side or under the hood closer to the battery). Using the diagram we find the fuel pump on/off relay.

We remove the relay and use a paper clip or wire to close the contacts leading to the relay. We turn on the ignition, gasoline begins to flow. If there is a lot of fuel in the tank, drain the gasoline intermittently so as not to disable the fuel pump. Immediately after air comes out of the hose, turn off the ignition (so as not to burn the fuel pump) - the tank is empty.

Reinstall the hoses and relays.

A safer way is to attach a bulb pump to the fuel line to pump out the fuel (a very long process)

To summarize, I will say on my own behalf, if you doubt your abilities, skills and professionalism, it is better to contact an official service station or call an emergency gang. Those who have at least a little experience in car repairs will easily pump out the fuel themselves after reading this article.

We drain gasoline from the tank on a VAZ-2114 with our own hands: all the methods

Many users of VAZ-2114 cars have a question about how to drain gasoline from the tank . Often this question arises at the moment when the car owner begins to repair his car, but there are other situations. For example, low-quality gasoline was poured, or the wrong fuel was filled, or fuel was transferred from one car to another.

Method 1. Removing the tank

The first way to drain gasoline from a VAZ 2114 involves removing the fuel tank. The procedure may take several hours, but it will completely remove the fuel from the container. It is advisable to carry out the work on a lift or inspection pit. The algorithm for removing the tank and draining the fuel is as follows:

Reduce the pressure in the vehicle's fuel line.
Disconnect the fuel line fittings from the fuel filter.
Loosen the clamps and disconnect the gravity valve and filler pipe hoses.
Using the filler hose, drain the remaining fuel from the gas tank.
Loosen the hose that bleeds air from the fuel tank and disconnect it. It is recommended to cover the openings of the liquid container with rags.
Place a stand under the tank for support.
Using a 13mm socket wrench, unscrew the fuel tank fasteners and remove it.
Remove any remaining fuel from the container and rinse it with water and gasoline.
Put the tank in place.

Draining gasoline from a VAZ-2114 gas tank: all methods

Open the hatch, unscrew the lid and let's go!

Draining fuel from the tank of domestic cars is much easier than from a foreign-made vehicle. But draining gasoline from a VAZ-2114 car is also not an easy task. One way is to remove the tank from the car , but this will take more time and effort. But you can do it in an easy way.

Method without removing the tank

Draining gasoline from the gas tank

The process takes a little time, but you need some skill and the necessary tools. First you need to get a hose , the length of which will correspond, as well as a special container for gasoline. Next, you need a pump or some analogue or a regular home vacuum cleaner.

Once all the tools are at hand, you need to unscrew the tank cap and insert the hose there. It is recommended to check the fuel level in the tank. This can be done either with a regular stick, or by inserting the hose into the tank and then removing it, thereby checking what level the gasoline is at. We lower the hose as low as possible to remove all the fuel from the tank .

Insert the hose into the gas tank

After this, we attach the hose to the pump, or use a bulb. It is not recommended to suck in gasoline with your mouth; you can overdo it and “drink the fuel.”

Pumping gasoline into a canister

The hose should be in a bent state, resembling the English letter S, and turn on the pump, and then immediately turn it off, and direct the end of the hose into the container. This must be done sharply so that the incoming gasoline gets into the container prepared in advance.

The gasoline container must be clean and free of debris . As soon as the fuel begins to drain, this process becomes irreversible. Raise the tube higher to stop the fuel supply.

After this, the hose can be pulled out of the tank.

How to dry a gas tank completely?

If you need to completely dry the car tank, it is recommended to turn on the vehicle engine and let it run for a while, and then repeat the above steps again. If there is a mesh on the neck of the tank, then in this case one of the fuel line hoses is removed .

Method 4. Drain through the neck with a pump.

There is another method of draining gasoline from the “fourteenth” tank. It requires skill and does not allow you to completely remove low-quality gasoline. To perform the operation, you will need a container for fuel, a hose of sufficient length and a pump. Instead of a pump, you can use a regular household vacuum cleaner. Algorithm of actions:

Unscrew the cap and insert the hose into the tank.
Check how much gasoline is in the tank. To do this, it is recommended to use a stick or insert a hose and then remove it. This will let you know the level.
To pump out fuel, insert the hose as deeply as possible.
Connect the hose to the pump or vacuum cleaner. You can use a pear. Some car enthusiasts try to suck out fuel with their mouths. It is not recommended to do this. This is very dangerous for your health! There is a high risk of accidentally ingesting gasoline, which can cause severe poisoning.
Make sure that the hose is bent and looks like the letter S.
Turn on the pump and turn it off abruptly.
