Fuel pump hotwire

[THEMADTYPH00N]

I need to drain some gas out of the fuel tank for a walbro install. I've seen some guys hotwire the fuel pump to stay on all the time and then just dump the fuel into a can from the fuel rail. Anyone know how to do this?

Just disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter or at the rail, use a piece of hose to run the fuel to a bucket, and a cut your key on. The lack of fuel pressure will make the pump keep going until you turn off the key or run out of gas.

Or there is a grey wire near the fire wall - hook that to the power block on the fire wall and it'll run forever.

Or you could just be a man and lift the tank - it isn't that heavy with 18 gallons of gas

Sure as long as you come over and lift it for me.

Lifting it is not that bad, but when fuel comes sloshing out all over you, that sux...

I'd disconnect it at the filter and turn key on like Michael said.
