Is there a trick to syphoning gas out of a SC? Tried a couple of diffrent hoses but they go in only about a foot and a half to 2 foot and hit a dead end.

Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail or at the filter add a section of hose to your gas can and ground the FP lead on the STO connector with the key in run possition. (See drawing in attachment)

I'm not sure what year they started, but the fill tubes have been siphon proof for a very long time. The manufacturers added a device that won't allow a siphon hose to enter the tank.
Fuel pump doesnt run. Key was on and a grounding wire from the FP lead to the body of the car. Nothing
Ken,
Assuming your fuel pump works at other times, you can also cycle the ignition on and off several times to pump the fuel out. Pump will only run for about 3 seconds each time, so it may take a while.
I've done the grounding of the EEC test port several times and never had a problem keeping the pump running. Might want to check the the inertia switch in the trunk.

You can do it ferris bueler style and just run the damn thing till it drives off the stand.
Guess I will go to plan B. Pull the fuel pump and syphon directly out the top of the tank. I have an access hole under the rear seat. Plan A would have been easier. I think the gas in the tank is sour, doesnt smell fresh. Its getting fresh 100 octane gas.
OOOH I like those did you make them yourself?
