Use Fuel Pump to Pump tank out?
I'd like to use the fuel pump to pump the gas out of my tank before scrapping the car.
I figure I can just hook a hose to the output of the fuel filter and run it to my other car... but what do I need to do to keep the fuel pump running with the engine off? Will it run continuously in the ON position, or will the computer shut it off when it sees the engine isn't spinning? If it shuts off, how can I jumper it to run?
Thanks,

Nope, it don't work like that...the fuel pump timer is fixed..pressure has nothing to do with it...you have to use a jumper wire...

Does pulling the pump/sender qualify?

usually, no it doesn't..My recycler requires at least 2 holes 6 inches wide in each end of the fuel tank before they will accept it...personally, i just remove the tank and deal with it later... check your local recyclers requirements for their requirements, because their isn't a industry standard for this...
