How to Drain Gasoline from a Vehicle?

[LeDante]

To drain gasoline from a car, you can release the fuel at the gasoline filter located under the vehicle or by opening the drain screw beneath the fuel tank. Below are additional methods for extracting fuel: 1. Normally, it's not possible to siphon gasoline directly from the fuel tank of a small car because the tank opening has a U-shaped design that prevents a hose from being inserted. Instead, you can disconnect the engine's return fuel line and collect the fuel while the engine is running. However, extreme caution is required to prevent fuel from splashing, especially onto the ignition system, as this could easily cause a fire. 2. Alternatively, you can use a specialized fuel tank siphon pump available on the market. Since siphoning fuel on level ground is challenging, find a sloped area, park the car with the front facing uphill, and engage the handbrake. Once the car is securely positioned, open the fuel tank cap and insert the siphon hose into the tank, pushing it as far down as possible. Place the outlet end of the hose into a container for collecting the fuel, ensuring the hose is positioned as low as possible. After draining, allow any excess fuel in the hose to flow back into the tank to avoid wastage.
