free gas!

sort of,,,i filled up my(huge optional) gas tank on my `87 350 TBI motor'd K/5 and it's leaking where the sending unit/fuel pump goes in,,,must have a restrictor in the neck(can't siphon or even get a hose wet) and from reading here(it appears) the electric pump only cycles for 2 seconds,witch I THOUGHT would drain my tank no problemo,just pulled the hard line off at the filter,i am getting a slow drizzle= WHOOPIE!,,,,tried pressurizing the tank with an air hose and rag to get it running out but in 100F heat i'm a little antsi about sparks and It LEAKS air anyway(that method works fine on a tight tank),,anybody have any clues on how to drain this dude?,,,,,,so i can fix it,can i bypass the OEM wiring with a hot lead and get the pump to run continuously (without hurting anything like some cormputer setting)or what

nothing like whacking a hundred dollar bill in the tank and then needing it to LEAVE

prolly too late, but on the firewall by the fuel pump relay there will be a red wire hanging there, put power on it and it will power the pump.

Why don't you disconect the fuel fill hose from the tank. It is a little cramped but it should be accessable. Once removed drop a 3/8" rubber fuel line in the tank and siphon into buckets.
