I know this is not the right forum but I thought I would ask to see if anyone would know.

Is there a way to run the fuel pump on a 2000 GT by jumping a relay or something so that you can drain the tank without having to start the car?

A friend of mine in FL would like to get some fuel for his generator out of his car without siphoning it. He is stuck without power from the hurricane so he can't even get online to ask. amnit:

I have done it before on a fox body car by jumping the relay under the drivers seat to empty the fuel tank to install a fuel pump. Is there something similar he can do to his 2000?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kevin

If you can get to the power wire for the pump, you can give it some direct juice and it should start pumping....unhook the fuel line under the hood and pump it into a gas can.

Yeah. Thats what I have done before. Just wondering if there is a similar type relay somewhere, like the one under the drivers seat, to jump without having to tap into the power wire to the pump.

Thanks.
