Draining Gas Tank - 95 Regal

[architect]

What's the easiest way to drain a full tank from the 95 Regal? Can I just get a tube in from the gas cap or is there anti siphoning?

Would like to get as much out as possible without lifting or getting under the car. Thanks.

Does the pump run? If it does, unhook a fuel line under the hood and jump the fuel pump relay.

Thanks will do that.

This looks to be the relay that I can access under the hood as well. Which pins should I jump?

there should be a loose red wire near the relay jump that to the positive post and it should turn the fuel pump on

The fuel lines that feed the fuel rail are not screw on nut fittings, both the pressure & the return are disconnected with a set of fuel line/ac disconnect tools.

The pressure line is near the centre at the back of the engine. One pulls off the engine cover & you'll see the fuel rail. Once you've disconnected the line you'll need a lengthy section of garden hose to slip over the fuel line end & tape it up to prevent any leaking & feed it into a container size of your choosing. Now you can bypass the relay to power up the fuel pump to drain the tank.
