To empty the fuel tank, first remove the fuel pump fuse. Next, disconnect the hoses located at the top of the engine, following the instructions shown in the tutorial.

Attach a hose to the car's fuel line that leads into a container to collect the fuel. At this point, you can activate the fuel flow using a remote control from the OBD device, allowing the fuel to flow into the container.

Once all the fuel has been collected, you can reassemble all the previously removed parts.
