I wrecked the car but still have a full tank. I haven't been able to syphon any out even though the hose goes in about 3 feet. Is there any easy way to recover the 40 dollars worth of gas?

Hi gdog53,

Disconnect the fuel supply hose at fuel rail if you still can get at it and apply battery current to the main relay to fuel pump wire, ie. provided the car is still standing upright :)

Second option, is to remove the fuel pump and siphon from there.
