Part II: tank drain re: very perplexed on this one

[jalero]

OK, I'm ready to replace the fuel pump motor.

Been trying to come up with a method to drain the 7/8th full tank.

I thought I had a solution twice, but further thinking, they were not feasible.

My latest is since I can get the pump running: (although it has started the past three days) to disconnect the outgoing / feed line and pipe to my collection container.

My question is, since the pre-pressure with the key in the 'on' position will never reach it's designed pressure, will the pump continue pumping or is there a 'timeout' of some sort ?

Any additional ideas on draining tank much appreciated.

thanks, jack
