Need To Siphon Out Old Gas This is what im using
http://www.partsreloaded.com/PWC/Acc...oY0aAuWk8P8HAQ
No luck what so ever. Now im doing the Trap Door method next week for changing the fuel pump and my question is would I be able to siphon out the gas through the hole that way or is there another way of doing it? The gas is about 1 year old and has become stale.

I tried to use that method through the fill tube but it did not work. I also syphoned my tank from the top when I did my fuel pump and that worked fine as I was able to get all the gas out and see into the tank (trap door method as well).
You can also run a fuel hose to the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and put the other end into a gas can. Then you can use the hotwire plug under the hood to manually turn the pump on by connecting a wire to the fuel pump relay plug on the passenger side by the pcm ---this will turn on the fuel pump relay and allow the fuel pump to run while the car is off. You can just run a direct wire to the plug from the 12 volt red box/battery or put a momentary switch in between to turn it on and off easier.

I believe there is an anti-siphoning device in the fill neck. You can either manually engage the pump, or when replacing your fuel pump you will have access to the inside of the tank. If you chose to use the pump make sure to pay attention and shut it off once there is no more continuous flow. Don't want to burn it up.

I have 3/4 of a tank of 4+ year old gas. I also have a Walbro pump with the sock along with a 5 year old fuel tank. I don't recall any anti siphoning device. But if there is one and I have to use the fuel pump to get the gas out will the crap gas clog up the sock?
I have no idea what condition the gas could be in. I do remember seeing threads where people were saying they couldn't siphon through the filler neck. You have a trap door for the fuel pump? You can buy a battery powered siphon and take it out that way. Or simply run it and change out the sock and fuel filter. :shrug:
