ok ive got a 96 f-150 with dual tanks the fuel pump went out on the front tank with like 3/4 of a tank of fuel.i was wondering is there a way i can pump this fuel out of the front tank into the rear so it isnt so dang heavy?i didnt wanna syphon by mouth ive never tried but just seems nasty.

thank you

You will have to transfer the fuel manually, I use a drill operated fluid transfer tool/pump if I need to empty my tanks when replacing pumps or senders.

These pumps are around 20 dollars and it takes only a few minutes to empty a tank. Using this method lets you avoid the nasty taste of gasoline.

This is how I go about it, I am sure there are many methods out there, but this is mine.

A little gasoline in the mouth isn't so bad. Just don't drink it. You'll live and you will save yourself 20 bucks to spend on mouthwash.

If you are buying a fuel pump anyway just connect hoses to the new pump
and pump the fuel from tank to tank you will have to be creative with the pick-up. Use 14ga or larger wire to run pump from 12v dc.

Just be careful as a leak and spark will start a fire.
