Re: Possible to drain fuel from tank via fuel rail?

Update:
I was able to siphon about 2 gallons out of the tank. I tested a little bit with a lighter and it lit right up and stayed lit. So I figure it wasn’t bad gas and tried starting the car to no avail. I tried listening for the fuel pump but the friggen dings and cd changer make too much of a ruckus.
I then removed the cover to the Schrader valve on the passenger side fuel rail and depressed it with a star drive bit and nothing. No hiss, no fuel..nada. I checked the fuel pump fuse and swapped it with another 20a, I checked the inertia switch in the trunk, I unplugged and plugged the fuel pump harness on the rear pass side by the fuel tank. Then tried a restart and nothing, checked the valve and no pressure.

So I don’t know anymore. I’m assuming it’s the fuel pump as I couldn’t hear anything like the loud humming on my 95 GT when you turn the key to the on position.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane
