Default Draining Gas Tank

I was thinking of dropping my tank this weekend to check my fuel pump, etc. I'm not sure of how much gas I have, due to my gas gauge doesnt work.(I go by mileage) I should have very little.

But I was wondering could I disconnect my fuel filter from the fuel "In" side and make up a line to attach to the fuel line and just hook up the Fuel Pump HOT wire under the hood and "pump" out all my fuel in to gas cans. So I dont have to siphon it out.

Let me know. Thanks

If the pump is working, that will definitely pump the fuel out. Be safe though. Have an extinguisher handy.

ok, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'll try and take pics of the attachment and hose that I'll fab up.
