IT CAN BE DONE. I watched all the DIY videos on this subject and then came up with this idea and it worked. The key to draining the cherokee fuel tank is to __ cut the end of your clear plastic siphon hose on a 30-45 degree angle. Make the hose pointed. __ PUSH and SPIN the hose down into the gas fill channel. __ Blow into the hose to see if the other end is down in the gas, you should hear it bubble or gurgle. __ Use an air hose and a loosely held rag to blow air into the tank to start the siphon. I hope I can claim this is the easiest way to drain the Jeep Cherokee XJ gas tank. And they said it couldn't be done LOL fuel petrol 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 fuel rail battery relay paper clip jumper wire empty drain extract dump drop the fuel tank 15 gallons Easiest Way to Drain Fuel on a Jeep Cherokee syphon siphon
