How to get gas out of car?
Hi guys, this may sound stupid.. but i just filled up my tank and then found out it would not pass inspection, the guy i bought the car from agreed to give me my money back but told me theres no way to get my gas out, hes got a pretty scrwed up attitude about the whole situation.. but thankfully said he would give the money back once i get the title back
I duno maybe im goin about this the wrong way.. seems to me even tho i bought as is he did tell me it would pass inspection so the most i expected was a problem car but i never dreamed it wasnt driveable! Runs great and drives Great! Imagine that! But UNSAFE.. Any laws about that? He asked me if i would keep the car if he got it inspected for me.. this was AFTER i told him its not safe to drive I told him definitely not, now i have to wait for title to come back in my name.. wasted time, wasted $ ---- > i want my gas! lol Anyway.. my boyfriend tried to siphon it but the hose wont go in all the way.. Anyone got any suggestions?

Sorry a arkansaw credit card does not work on removing gas from a newer tank. Slow but sure way is jump fuel pump and run the fuel line into a gas can or another cars tank. Mt

You can hook up to the schrader valve with the proper tool and run the car till you get enough gas out.
Welcome.

Re: How to get gas out of car?
They put bends in ingoing lines and chrysler actually uses a mesh screen but it isn't hard to manipulate a hose around a bend and if you are posting a chysler question in the Ford section then you deserve the wrong information.

Re: How to get gas out of car?
It would help to know exactly which Ford model and year it is. I know that the standard siphon hose you buy at K-mart isn't long enough to get the gas out of a 98 Taurus/Sable. The fuel pump had gone out, so I couldn't use the pump and schrader valve trick. After jacking up the back of the car, there is a point where the rubber filler hose comes down to a metal tube connecter that then goes to another rubber hose on into the tank. I disconnected the hose there and the siphon hose then was able to make it into the tank from that point.

You can drop the tank that takes a better part of 20 minutes to do and about 25-30minutes to reinstall the empty tank.

Re: How to get gas out of car?
Jack up the rear of the car so you can access the fuel tank. The filler tube attaches with hose clamps. Place a large catch container under the clamped area. Remove the clamp and pull filler neck out, then siphon away.

Re: How to get gas out of car?
I would personally forget about the tank of gas and call it a learning experience, before the seller of this car changes his/her mind, plus it would be a nice gesture since the seller is being nothing but kind to you in regards to this matter. Seeing that you bought this car AS-IS you don’t have a legal leg to stand on and it does not matter what the seller told you. When you buy a car AS-IS you buy it with any problems that the car may have. If you don’t want any suspires next time before you buy an AS-IS car ask the owner if you can have a licensed mechanic look at the car before you buy it. The next seller might not take to you wasting his/her time as well as this one.
