Draining 2G AWD fuel tank

[horizontalkev]

I realize the AWD fuel tank has the saddlebag design, so with that said if I siphon bad fuel from the passenger side fuel pump opening, will the fuel on the drivers side "saddlebag" of the gas tank have drained aswell, or will the bad fuel on that side? Thanks Tuners

I'd just remove the rear seat, and take the sending unit out. Then you have much easier access.

That's what I did, but the saddlebag design of the fuel tank is made to siphon fuel from one side to the side with the sending unit/fuel pump while in use. Now if I siphon the fuel from the fuel pump on the passanger side, will it also remove fuel from the drivers side?

Yes, for the most part.. However there are like "baffles" inside to keep the tank from sloshing all over. So, you wont get ALL of the fuel but most. Also shouldnt there be two access panels to get at both sides of the tank in an AWD car? I cant remember from my donor car.

Hmm yeah I see. I need to do it over again and tear out my fuel pump anyways. And yes there's another the drivers side I'm just too lazy to get in there
