Yeah, you could cycle the key over and over since you're having starter issues. That may take a while, and I worry that you may strain and gum up the pump before you got done if that gas has turned completely to varnish and there's a lot of it. Two years is kind of on the border for me as far as how much the fuel has degraded (unless the fuel is older than the sitting time), but you'd still only get as much as the pickup could reach. Are you just doing this to lighten the tank up, or are you trying to do this to clear the fuel system of the old stuff and start over? I can tell you from experience that your pump, strainer sock, sending unit, and the clamps, fittings, and hoses on the sending unit are going to look ugly, and you'll want a whole new assembly if the tank is full of varnish. It stinks. Bad. If you touch it, it'll linger on you for a couple days, and if you spill it, especially in gravel or soil, it'll linger for months. Unfortunately, you could apply this method more easily on an earlier vehicle with the 12 pin ALDL. Pin G, I believe, is the one you could apply 12V to and run the pump directly. If I've got my ducks in a row, when they switched to the OBDII style connector, Pin G was replaced by Pin 8, which is intended for the VATS so no go there. I have used two year old gasoline, and it worked fine. It may not be that nasty if it's only been that long, but beyond just two years, I'd say not so good. I know that I said a lot of ifs here, but I'm not a hundred percent on the fuel you're trying to extract being completely rotten because I don't know how long that batch of gasoline has been sitting in the tank.
