It’s a plastic fuel tank so no matter what it is not going to cause a spark with the axe popping a hole into it for removing the fuel from said tank. In AZ they require that the vehicle can’t have a fuel tank, battery, Freon, coolant or oil when taking vehicles to the scrap yard to crush them. I was working at 20th Street auto parts wrecking yard as a kid during the summer and then after I graduated high school for several years. They had Porsche, Audi and Corvette vehicles and some trucks. Got really good at stripping a corvette very quickly and never cut a wire harness on damaged any of the parts that we were going to be reselling by myself it took me about 2.5-3 hours to get it down to a bare shell.
It's a wrecking yard /dismantler yard, they buy crashed vehicles from auction and sale the good parts. Employees take the gas. You can see all the doors on racks on left side. I used to work for a dismantler yard.
Your supposed to use a hollow brass spike on a transmission jack, the brass spike penetrates the tank without risking a spark and drains the fuel through a pipe to a suitable container.
I used to work at a salvage yard, The first thing they would do is drain all the fluids and then cut the engine and transmission out . They had a siphon pump . It looked just like a gas pump at the station it was able to be moved ( they had a few) . It was awesome working there I got to fill my truck up once a week and I got a company vehicle (yard car ) .
I worked at a junkyard as a teen in the 80s. We’d cut the straps w/bolt cutters to drop the tank. Then take a hatchet to the corner and proceed to dump the gas in 5 gallon buckets and then dumped the buckets in a big tank for reusing the gas.
I worked at a Ford dealership back in the '70s and that's how we drained gas tanks. You won't get a spark as a punch goes through the tank because there's gasoline at the bottom of the tank. The fumes, that's the explosive part of gas, is on the top. We did that all the time, at least for the 10 years I was there, and never had a problem. That's not luck.
I worked for Esserman Dodge in Chicago Heights during the last half of the 1960s. I was 15 years old in '65 and what a dream job for a young high school kid. My job was to clean the Body Shop Floor and move ca4s around the lot. Can you imagine being a teenager and driving all of the big 426 cu inch Charger Hemis w/Super Bee Sixpacks for carbs. Not to mention the "Barracudas." My boss, Johnny Sitko, raced every weekend at "U.S.30 Dragstrip in Maryville, Indiana. He was crazier than I was, driving in those Iconic muscle cars. He taught me all about drifting, power-shifting and at what RPMs to do so. My friend ran his '56 Chevy super stock, with hydraulic valves, and ran a decent 8.5 sseconds average in the quarter mile. This Dodge dealer also had a number of Tiger Sunbeams w/ 260 cu inch V8. It also had a 4-speed manual tranny in her, Now, there was a fast car. I've since heard that Karol Shelby had something to do with the Tiger's development. I still am trying to understand how a Ford product came to being sold by a Chrysler company.
Wouldn't be the correct air fuel ratio in the fuel tank for it to ignite anyway even if it sparked inside, obviously when it's draining out if there's an ignition source then yeah, crispy eyebrows
I believe they are still available at Auto Parts Stores such as NAPA, Etc., and I installed one in my '63 Falcon Ranchero a few years ago when I replaced the fuel line and pump for the tank - even though I may never use it again - but Just in Case. 😁
I had a Nissan 1984 model that had a drain plug it's neat to have one if you have water in the tank you can just loosen the bolt take it out ant let her drain
I am in California, I’m white and I work in construction. I own a dump truck. The only people I have interactions with on the job site are Mexican. White men in construction are in the office telling us what to do. I’m sure you know exactly what I’m talking about. I would rather work with Mexicans because they want to work. You guys are the hardest working sons of guns I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve only learned a bit of Spanish, and it’s just from the guys on the job site. So naturally they’re generally cuss words. They have such a wonderful sense of humor because they’ll call me names and I have to write them down and look up the translation when I get home. It’s hilarious. Viva Mexico.!!!
Sorry metal on metal can spark , gas in the tank helps but he could have a hot metal fragment stuck to the top of the pick and put that up in the vapors .....,a brass or copper punch is the proper tool ...
Its a breakers yard , its fuel . I used to do the same thing in the uk turn car on side , ram pickaxe through lower corner , catch fuel , share it out .
I guess if theres smthing wrong w the tank then ruining it wouldnt matter but if not then a long rubber tube & a suction pump would b just as good & you’d still have a perfectly good tank for sale or use . Imo
these guys are junking out or parting out cars. Time is money. this is the fastest way to drain the tank then remove it if required before storing or crushing the rest of vehicle.
Because of the fumes inside you don't want to make a spark believe me I used to do this and the garage still prepares for the crusher@@jayeshmanjrekar7283
@@jayeshmanjrekar7283 fuel vapors and fumes are far more volatile than liquid gasoline. A full tank is far less likely to blow up than an empty one full of vapors.
My friends grandma had a jug of gas on her table for some reason. Chainsmoking, i saw her about to toss a cig in, yelling nononono! Fizzled out in the gas... Did it twice more.. Tried for years to get gas to light with a cig. Maybe a perfectly sparking one.🤗
No risk of a spark. It's like shooting a gun at a gas tank, you get a hole. You watch to many movies and believe what your watching is real. Typical of entitled Harris/Biden Democrats
Nothing happens even if it's gasoline. Liquid gasoline is going to be on the bottom of that tank, liquid gasoline does not burn. Is the vapors that burn. And even then it has to be just the right mix of oxygen for ignition to happen with a spark. The chances of that perfect mix happening inside of a gas tank is extremely low, like ridiculously low numbers.
I work at a scrap disposal for a few summers with my friend as a cars get put on the conveyor belt to get shredded. I operated a D9 dozer and pushed the scrap already. The size of a Coke can over to the magnet where my friend was operating. He also would put it on a conveyor belt And going into the hall of a ship or another friend on a smaller dozer spread around scrap. Every once in awhile a gas tank had fumes some vapours and it would blow up as it was getting chopped up. We would stop walk over to the conveyor belt and see how much damage it did. Have to repairing the housing in case of things like this happening made the repairs back to work. From San Diego, California.
@doneagan2094 liquid gasoline is not flammable. That's what he meant. Gas has to be oxidized to become flammable. The fumes emitted by gasoline are flammable and combustible the liquid gasoline is not. If you do like the movies and flick a little cigarette into a pool of gas, it will just extinguish the cigarette with no flames.
@Mylliagamer I started a few fires with gasoline, and it ignites immediately. To the point that it almost got me a few times. Why would it be different out of a gas tank?
Another thought to is water will absorb alcohol, put water in the tank, and drain it like this, will seperate water/alcohol from real fuel in a water container like this, real fuel will go to the top and you can see the difference ! We used a shut off valve on those tappered white gas cans with clear hose. Had a plywood board mounted on a steel lift table, once fuel was added in 4 gal and a quarter of water, shake it up and turn it upside down and let it sit! You can see alcohol drop with water, drain it off, stir swish fuel around lid for water drops, can see thrn drop in hose, as you see color change coming down, put alcohpl/water mix in a junk can and save the good fuel part in another! Mix it in with non alcohol fuel and make use of it gas tractors, backhoe, mowers, ect. Anything you don't want alcohol in! Wish they would get smart and getvrid of alcohol fuel! It's junk and bad on alot of things from rubber o rings to metal tanks. Very corrosive. Junk!
I use to do this as a kid in the auto wrecker I worked at to get fuel for our yard vehicle, I was scared shitless to puncture a steel tank for the first time 😅
It's safe even if it was metal. You might cause a spark, but with that volume of gasoline, a spark wouldn't have a chance igniting it. Now if it were and empty tank with fumes, you could be asking for trouble. there's no pain like that of a 3rd degree burn over 60% of your body.
I might of needed that tank. This is why no oil pan, transmission pan, fuel tank, and some places diff covers are available, unless you want one with a hole and a rubber plug
This is why you can't get a gas tank at the wrecking yard or a trans pan and sometimes an oil pan. Also they wreck the driveshafts sometimes with the fork lift moving the cars. But I get it theres a lot of cars to go through especially at places like picknpull they go through a lot of inventory. Then theres the overpriced wrecking yards that keep inventory for a long time and pull parts for you.
I’d have just disconnected the quick coupling, and powered the pump using a power probe; but sometimes you just need to smash some stuff…that’s OK too.
Back in the 70s a tech at a Buick dealer in Houston was using a similar quick method and he and the service dept didn't survive. But that looks like water not gas.
Absolutely right it's plastic just like the freaking radiator so no sparks and as long as you have that funnel and gas can ready and a hoist to lift the car up with ingenious
Interested to know what junkyard this is and if it's full service or self service?

Every time you do that you're throwing away money. Even the plastic gas tanks go for decent price at the junk yards now. We have a gigantic yard here in Chattanooga and you can get just about anything you want out there. They bring in trailer loads of cars everyday. A buddy of mine was the guy who priced the vehicles they picked up and paid for them.
Honestly crazy so many cars get scrapped instead of parted put and or reused for something i mean there is the chance of melting down but i see a lot of stuff just sit and not have anything done to it
I remember one time I was cutting a muffler with a sawzall and a sawzall blade went right into the gas tank,wtf.. I was lucky that day God was with me it was a metal tank to boot but luckily it was right on the corner so I was able to get a bucket and save the gas cuz it was on empty I ain't rich, and I remember I was living at the campground.. I was trailer trash but I had an old airstream.. and then when the gas leaked out it cleaned itself all around and then I was able to patch it with some liquid metal from like you know adapt like an epoxy.. fixed it..
I've seen people cut one open with an angle grinder. This is safe even with a metal tank as long as ya swing from the bottom and have at least 1/4 tank😂
I don’t really like that method because it means that when I want to steal gas, I must first find a hoist in order to be able to swing the pick and that’s not easy at 2 o’clock in the morning

Sorry metal on metal can spark , gas in the tank helps but he could have a hot metal fragment stuck to the top of the pick and put that up in the vapors .....,a brass or copper punch is the proper tool ...
Correct but a few turn of electrical tape around the pick tip will of helped , dodgy anyway regardless
Fuel tanks are made of plastic for this reason.
ELECTRIC DRILL WORKS BETTER.😅
@ronniecox109 or just tip the car on its side , that would be safest I think 🤔
@stevenwells5328 I have never owned a car with a plastic fuel tank and I have owned vehicles for fifty years .
I think the car was submerged and that is water. The gas went on down the river.
I believe you're right. Because if that was gasoline and it was exploded when he struck it with that metal pickaxe

Only the vappor is ignited by sparks. Not the liquid, under most circumstances(like lots of heat).

I was lucky that day God was with me it was a metal tank to boot but luckily it was right on the corner so I was able to get a bucket and save the gas cuz it was on empty I ain't rich, and I remember I was living at the campground.. I was trailer trash but I had an old airstream.. and then when the gas leaked out it cleaned itself all around and then I was able to patch it with some liquid metal from like you know adapt like an epoxy.. fixed it..
Yep, it seems about right. Every time your car takes a shit your tank is always freshly filled.
Every part , on a car can be disassembled and sold . But some people aren't smart enough to know that they just lost money .
Did it all the time when I worked in a salvage yard as a teenager
I've seen people cut one open with an angle grinder. This is safe even with a metal tank as long as ya swing from the bottom and have at least 1/4 tank😂
Looks like he might have run out of fuel in his car. 😂
Some people are too cautious. They usually end up doing something wrong by thinking to much. Just get on with it.
They do this for scrap vehicles too prevent explosive fires
Que pontaria, bravo arqueiro.
With todays gasoline measures? This is like draining a cars radiator!😮😂😂
I don’t really like that method because it means that when I want to steal gas, I must first find a hoist in order to be able to swing the pick and that’s not easy at 2 o’clock in the morning
This is how we always did it at the junkyard I worked at as a teenager
Love seeing techs wearing the tech ppe 😂😂
Well, the tank is plastic so yeah it's not really a dangerous thing to do 😂
Here you see the difference of a warm climate under body car and a UK one Exactly the UK ones have rotted away..
А в Казахстане за разбор автомобилей берут утильсбор при покупке авто из зарубежа в зависимости от марки, получается иногда 2 и более раза дороже самой цены
With how big that tank is I’m surprised they didn’t grab a larger jug
That car looks very clean under it. The car should be parted out instead of scrapped waste of resources
Years ago I operated an Amoco gas station, premium gas was clear as water, every one called it white gas, people loved to use it in their lawnmowers!
Skinny isn't going to hold that till it's full 😂😂
I find it much easier to use the Fuel pump to pull it all out of the Tank.Just disconnect the hose.Why is it so hard?It just takes a little time
This looks unsafe.
It's ok when the hoist outside.😊
