   killed my saxo, but want to remove all the fuel that is still in tank
   
   I know it is under the rear seat,
   
   does the pump just sit in the tank, or is there pipes going to it

   don't really want to do that, I thought if I removed the pump, then I should have access to the fuel

    Best bet is to drill
    A hole in the tank
    It's only a plastic tank so no chance of sparks.

    The tank is worth nothing. Drill a hole lol. Or get the fuel pump out and directly wire it to a battery and pump it out
