    Most of the cars these days have fuel injection. There's usually a high pressure pump (12 volt ) inside the tank with a feed & return line running up to the motor.

    It's been a few years, but on the last car i did i cut the feed line and ran it into a five gallon gas can.

    Next, i grabbed a 12 volt battery and powered up the fuel pump in the tank.

    It's kinda slow but a lot safer.

    =============

    Gasoline doesn't burn as a liquid .... only as a vapor.

    Diesel and #2 fuel oil are a lot safer. (Try pouring some on a concrete floor and lighting it with a hand held propane torch.)
