Got a air compressor! disconect fuel line, put it into a container, remove filler cap and then pressurize the tank.

Get a second opinion then come back here and someone here could explain what it is. I would ease up on getting the gas until I had some more evidence in front of you.

Here's someome who needs to stay away from cars. It's not an ice pick it's a berylium pick and most scrap yards use them to pierce fuel tanks because they don't spark.

No most wreckers take out the drain plug in the bottom of the tank

just for the record-the easiest way for a car owner to empty a modern petrol tank is to unbolt the fuel pump and ??

didnt read it all so probably been said, but undo at the tank where the fuller hose goes in, and put garden hose in there. Most time fuller hoses have the thing the stops you being able to shove anything down it. or take out the back seat and get it thru the access panel in alot of cars.

Can disconnect the fuel line from the injector rail and run a tube into a few cans.Then simply turn on the ignition to pump the tank dry.No syphoning required

Ok for a few liters but the coils are going to get pretty hot after a while & the pumps require back pressure to maintain internal temps down. Not good considering most injection pumps are "in tank" units

The fuel pump only runs for a few seconds then switches off. It is only when the ecu is recieving a pulse from the CAS that the pump runs constantly.
