NEED HELP! Siphoning gas from double cab tacoma??

Short story! Fuel pump went out after filling up truck, what a bitch and it's my daily driver and I need help quick I need to get it done by tomorrow the latest but would like it done by late tonite haha

 

Are you asking someone to come to your house and siphon gas? Or are you just complaining?

 

Haha no complaining just how to do it because the hoses aren't feeding through to the tank? Need some advice

 

Siphoned gas long time ago. You will need several gas cans. Do it in the open, not the garage. No smoking. And some filler necks have anti siphoning devices installed.

 

I have 3 5 gal cans ready just can't get the gas out

 

I would do that but I think there's something blocking the hose from going through to the tank so I just need that hose to get in and I should be golden from there

 

Thinner hose?

 

There is an anti siphoning device. That’s why modern gas thieves drill holes in the gas tank.

 

Yep, you cant siphon from a modern vehicle. There is an anti rollover valve that also blocks siphon hoses.

 

Lift the bed and save yourself the assache of dropping the tank

 

There's a youtube video where they are putting a hose through the gas tank filler and siphoning and not sure if it's a 2.4, 2.7 looks like a 3.4 but they siphon it and it worked would I just need a thicker more sturdier hose?

 

I see where I can disconnect the filler hose but Holy crap it's a tight fit! I can't any wrench or ratchet to get in there, I think thats my sweet spot? Dammit!

 

You have to drop tank on a double cab.

Remove the left side bed bolts and loosen the right side. Unbolt filler neck and unplug tail light wires. Jack the bed up with a jack sitting on the drivers rear tire. About 4 inches will allow you to access the hoses and filler connection. Make sure you put a block between the frame and bed floor while its jacked up.

 

His fuel pump went out. Doesn't work.

 

So you have to do all that in order to change out the fuel pump??

 

makes it a hell of a lot easier to get hoses off. You still have to drop the tank on a double cab also.

 

There a PITA on a doublecab.

 

Yeah man everything is going wrong with my truck so far, torn passenger side boot, seal leak on driver side front axle, need new upper/lower ball joints, have bad axle wrap, P0171, P0420, another code for a misfire on cylinder 4 and I have a vibration when I come to a stop, I've gotten so used to it I don't feel it anymore haha but I did manage to take the filler neck off and get about a gallon and half out of the tank before I stopped, thanks guys I'll be back at it again tomorrow afternoon.

 

I just got done replacing the tank on my 03 double cab for the SECOND time in 16 months because the replacement developed a leak. You are MUCH better off removing or at least lifting the bed as mentioned above.

Once the bed is out of the way you can remove the filler hose and siphon the gas from the tank before dropping it.

Good luck! The bed is 6 bolts, filler neck, and taillights to remove. If your truck has had the frame replaced like mine the bolts are new and easier to remove

 

Sigh...
