Well, draining the gas tanks isn't going as well as I had hoped.
I pulled off the -6 fuel line going into the input of the Aeromotive pump, as this is the line coming from the output of the stock in-tank fuel pump. At least it is supposed to be based on how I assume the plumbing is hooked up. For reference, this fuel line comes off of the bottom tube on the stock fuel pump.
Anyway, I hooked up HPTuners, stuck the hose end into the 5 gallon gas can and turned on the fuel pump via HPTuners. I didn't know what to expect, so I had Connie help me by holding the hose in place in case the gasoline would come out under pressure. Heck, we could hear the pump running, but the gasoline was just coming out at a dribble. We let it run that way, maybe for a half hour, and in that time it looks like just barely a gallon has come out. I thought perhaps there was a vacuum being created in the gastank, so I took off the gas cap, but that didn't make any difference at all. I took a video of what I have now, and as you can see, virtually NOTHING is coming out of that hose, and it actually sounds like the pump is sucking air.
Rather that run the risk of burning up the pump, I just shut it down. So that's where I am right now. This didn't go even CLOSE to how I had thought it would go. What the heck am I doing wrong? Why isn't that pump pulling gasoline out of my gastanks like I think it should?
