JasonJ Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I need to drain the fuel in a 98 Impreza wrx that was given to me. It was my Inlaws an has sat in the garage for the last 2 years collecting dust. There is about half a tank of fuel in it. The car turns over but won't fire and yes there is new plugs an oil in it... I've heard that the fuel tank does not have a drainage plug/screw, An was wonder the best way to drain it...??? Disconnect fuel line before/after filter an run pump or.... ???

86BRATMAN Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Best way I've found is to use one of the cheap fluid pumps from a auto parts store. Commonly found in the gear oil section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 give the fuel pump 12 volts directly and run the hose into a bucket? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 give the fuel pump 12 volts directly and run the hose into a bucket? just be sure to cut the power upon the tank becoming empty, as the fuel cools the fuel pump, when it is being used. Otherwise, the fuel pump will burn out, if not cooled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 First check to see if the fuel pump is working. There should be ahatch behind the back seat where you can access the fuel pump and siphon it out from there. 2 year old gas should run and just mix it down with fresh fuel and run it thru, then change the filter.
