The old one got aged and stiff. Though the experience of having gas stolen from my gas tank while I had the vehicle in storage, I found out that there is a connection to the gas tank of a Odyssey that can be disconnected to drain the gas tank.
How did you drain it? Does it have a capless gas tank, thos have anti siphon filters. The pipe that connect to the fuel injector is easy to disconnect safely. You need to put the container close, which mean above the level in the gas tank. The gas pump will run for 2 seconds. Turn key to off, then run, you get another 2 second worth of gas. Repeat until you fill your container. A more efficient method would be to identify the relay for the fuel pump, remove it from the socket and insert a wire between the pin that correspond to the relay contact.
The fuel pump would work continuously. Be very careful doing that. All fuel pumps are lubricated by the fuel itself. I taper the end of the hose an d still having a problem.
I think Fords use something like a butterfly system instead of the ball. That may be the issue, call parts store and ask what part is there. Good luck! Well I just had my gas stolen and I am not happy that it is so easy to do and freely discussed, I have to live on a very small SS check.
I own a ford freestar. Would like to siphon gas from vehicle in a most convenient manor. Manufacturers have special tools called fuel drain hoses to get past the fuel tank check valve. For example a Chevrolet Equinox requires GM They recommend lubricating the hose with Transjel lubricant or equivalent. GM recommends getting down to A max of 3 gallons to remove the fuel tank. For that much money I will just drop the tank full withy a jack then get the gas out on the ground with the fuel pump out.
The tank has to be flushed anyway. Buy an electric fuel pump, the type that mounts outside the fuel tank. Extend the wires so they will reach the car battery, add some alligator clips. This is typically located higher up in the fuel filler pipe. This valve is actually meant to keep gas from escaping the car in event of a rollover but it also prevents you from sticking a siphon hose in the tank — hence why it is often called the anti-siphon valve.
If the car has an anti-siphon screen but does not have a rollover valve, then you can probably siphon most of the gas with this simple trick. It works because the anti-siphon screen is usually located quite far down the neck of the fuel filler pipe. Just park the car on a steep slope so the filler is downhill. Your siphon hose will be able to reach some of the gasoline to siphon it out. It is possible to break through the anti-siphon screen in a car.
The problem is that metal-on-metal can create a spark. And a spark could result in a massive fire! A good solution is to use copper. Because copper has high conductivity, it generally will not create sparks. One solution is to make a copper ring and solder it to a copper pipe. You then feed the pipe into the fuel filler tank and use the ring at the end to break the screen.
Car rollover valves allow gas to enter the tank in one direction only. Most rollover valves are either ball or butterfly type valves. In theory, you can bypass the rollover valve with the right tools. In practice though, this is very difficult and time-consuming to do. If you really want to try it, I recommend buying a spare rollover valve and testing it out.
To do this:. You can use the fuel tank Schrader valve to bypass the anti-siphon valve. The fuel Schrader valve is used for testing pressure. You can speed up the process using a pump to quickly create suction on the exiting end of the hose and get the gas to start flowing sooner.
