Hurricane dorian/tundra/gas removal

So, I live in coastal Georgia and with hurricane Dorian bearing down I’m prepping for it

Last hurricane(Matthew)
We lost power and water for 6 days. Learned a lot about prepping on that ordeal

So the tundra fuel tank is topped off and I have 25 gallons gas on hand for generator.

Suppose I wanted to use gas from tundra for generator?
Any ways to safety remove?

Would be cool to have that much extra fuel reserve for generator

 

This^^

 

^^^^ DITTO
- no drain in fuel cell
- siphon be ur best bet

 

Thought there would be screen to prevent siphoning hose from reaching tank?

 

Yup. Siphoning hose can be your best friend in times of need. In Georgia we call a siphon hose a "Georgia credit card".

 

Nope.

There is a screen in the fill tube of all Toyota vehicles. No way to snake a siphon tube to the gas in the tank.

 

Always a Spoiler !!!
Darnetttt !!

 

With that said, if a tree falls on your tundra, you can punch a hole in the tank with a center punch. Drain the tank into a low gas can. Keep a golf tee handy to plug the hole as you change gas cans...

Trucks not gonna do you much good with a tree across the cab. Might as well use the gas in the thing.

 

There is.

 

Hopefully you wont have to worry about any of that. I live in Panama City, and rode out Hurricane Michael last year. Will never do that again if I can help it.

 

I would have gassed up and headed west for a few days.

 

I pump fuel out of tanks by disconnecting the fuel hose and turning the fuel pump on. (You need a scan tool for this though)

 

The filler neck screen will be laying in the bottom of tank if I need the gas.
Another option is to energize the fuel pump at the fuse block, connect a hose directly to the fuel rail and let the pump do the work for you.

 

I would check in at the biggest sturdiest hotel building in town with an indoor pool.

 

A generator will run for quite awhile on 25 gallons. I'd keep my Tundra prepped for a mad dash if needed. Don't ride out this storm unless it's absolutely necessary. It's an absolute beast. Best of luck. We're with you.

 

Already got a hotel room booked out of town in case conditions get too bad

Just thinking about senerios when returning

 

Wonder why I was able to siphon gas out of my Tacoma then.

 

What year?
