Connect a long hose to the disconnected quick release connector and drain the fuel into a container used for collecting gasoline.

Drain the fuel from the fuel tank using the following procedure:

Using M-MDS

Connect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
Using the simulation function "FP", start the fuel pump. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)] .)
- If the fuel pump cannot be operated, remove the fuel using the procedure in the reference. (See Fuel Siphoning Procedure Not Using Fuel Pump .)

Without using M-MDS

Remove the fuel pump relay.

CAUTION:

Short the specified terminals because shorting the wrong terminal of the relay and fuse block may cause malfunctions.

Using a jumper wire, short fuel pump relay terminals C and D in the relay and fuse block.

Connect the negative battery terminal and operate the fuel pump. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
- If the fuel pump cannot be operated, remove the fuel using the procedure in the reference. (See Fuel Siphoning Procedure Not Using Fuel Pump .)
CAUTION:
- The fuel pump could be damaged if it is operated while there is no fuel in the fuel tank. Verify the amount of fuel being discharged from the hose and stop operation of the fuel pump when essentially no fuel is being discharged.
