wrongturninwv Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just asking if anybody knows if there is a drain plug for the gas tank on a 97 Impreza. Have about a half tank of gas on a wreck I am pulling apart. I could not see a plug when I looked under the car. Could sure use the gas if I can get it out of there. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm unaware of a plug. I use an air drill and drill a hole, catch with funnel with paint filter in it and a hose that I put in a container. After all the tanks I've drilled I'll be a bit bummed if I missed a plug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rverdoold Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 if you can still access the pump, hot wire it with 12v and take the fuel from the line into a can. If possible after the fuel filter then no rubbish is in the fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 i pumped the gas out of a wreck by powering the fuel pum. i didn't run it through the filer though. i did how ever use about 30 ft. of wire so iwouldn't be standing next to it , just in case. or just open the access hole and siphon it in to a gas can on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I have a 6 pin fuel pump connector with the fuel pump leads for this exact purpose. I didn't want sparks or to have to pull the pump or anything. 4 screws, connect to battery with alligator clips and run it straight thru the filter to a gas can.

subaru360 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Imprezas don't have a drain plug until 02. I also just jumper the fuel pump wiring and pump it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
