Q10
For most of these new generation cars, it's nearly impossible to do so.

Which car model and year,

For.me to such out from corolla 2004,

I got a tiny hose with diameter less than 1cm, and usually climb a rock the opposite side so as to tilt the car towards the fuel pump side. I then stuck it out. This worked well for me

Is this true?

1. The fuel return line procedure
Open the bonnet and remove the fuel supply hose, if short u add urs and channel iT into a keg, start the car and the drilling begins grin

2. The fuel pump removal.
Most sedans have their tank under the back seat, removenthe back seat, loosen the fuel pump cover and probably lift the fuel.pump a little bit. Insert your hose and let the drilling begin.

3. Tank bolt under the car.
The fuel tank has a drain bolt under the vehicle, use you spanner to loosen it and find a rubber paint bucket to help drain the content. I dont always advice this often because if the bolt slacks or you damage the washer of the bolt, it's a fire waiting to happen when leaks trickle from there.

4. The generator trick
Unbolt your generator tank or carry the whole generator in your vehicle they will dispense it to you.

Detach the host supplying fuel from the tank and start the ignition for fuel to pump from the host to your 5litres can.
