What are detailed steps that must be taken to replace a fuel pump with two people if necessary on a 1995 Explorer XLT 4WD or where is a website where you can study it?
Easiest thing to do is buy a Haynes or Chilton shop manual a read up on it. Short version is siphon the tank, disconnect the fuel lines and electrical connection and remove the fuel tank. The pump/fuel gauge sender is inside the tank. Oh don't forget to put out your cigarette before you start. Could get messy.
How do you get rid of old gas in gas tank?
I Think you have other problems. Change the fuel filter and if that doesn't do it take it to a garage. You purchase a gasoline can and a funnel. Fill the gasoline can with fuel from your local gasoline station. Pour it into your vehicles tank using the funnel. Cycle the ignition key on and off several times pausing breifly for a few seconds when in the on position, this will prime the system, then start it up.
How would you drop a fuel tank that is full in a 1988 Olds Cutlass Supreme to change the fuel pump?
In case you decide to go ahead I've done it before, in the rain and in a dirt parking lot, sometimes you don't get to choose. raised the back up as high as I could and blocked it with jack stands, then I positioned the floor jack under the tank. I loosened all the tank strap bolts and then took the weight off the tank with the jack, then I removed the two rear tank strap bolts and let the tank drop in the back slowly so I could see the connections. I then removed the electrical connections and hoses from the top and lowered the tank to the ground where I could replace the fuel pump. When I got ready to put it back in I slid the tank onto the strap ends that were hanging down from the front and pushed that side up into position while supporting the back, from there I set all the connections again, after that it was just wrangling the tank into position so I could bolt the straps again.Another opinion.You don't! Remove as much gasoline from the tank as possible before removal.Oh... but I did...there is an anti siphon screen at the tank...makes it hard to drain it... and it went fine... thanx n e ways
Do some cars have siphon blocks The siphon does not seem to reach the gas Is there a kind of screen or block in some cars that prevents the siphon from reaching the gas if so how do you siphon it i.e?
There is sometimes a mesh type of anti syphon filter deep down in the tank where you normally couldn't reach it. You might damage the filling pipe and cause leaking gas if you try to remove it or break it. These are put there for obvious reasons. Some older cars eg 1970s can be drained from underneath by undoing the plug if you are wrecking your vehicle and want to prevent a fire hazard
How do you remove gas from a gas tank?
The easiest was is to drive the car until it runs out of gas. But a siphon is much faster...however some vehicles are designed with a steel mesh screen inside the filler hose which prevents siphoning...

What is an anti syphon valve?
An anti-siphon (or, anti-syphon) valve is a device that prevents liquid from returning to the line from which it came if a siphon action occurs. An anti-siphon device is frequently required on outdoor irrigation systems to prevent possibly contaminated water to be drawn back into the water supply lines if water pressure decreases in the water supply line. An anti-siphon device is not the same as a check valve. A check valve allows flow in only one direction, and requires pressure to function. An anti-siphon valve opens to the atmosphere when there is reduced or no pressure in the line.
