I want to recover the gas that is in the tank (full) somehow. Is
there a way to beat the anti-siphon baffle? Or is there some other
way to drain that tank?


* Disconnect battery
* Disconnect IN fuel line and redirect to container
* Reconnect battery
* Turn on ignition


Does the fuel pump run very long? I don't know about the fancy tanks.

Would the computer shut down the pump, timely and interrupting flow?


I think the pump runs until you switch off the iginition. In normal
operation, gas not used is returned to the tank.
