Where does the fuel feeder hose connect with the injector fuel rail under the hood? I can't find any photos to reference. Is it even possible to connect a regular hose there to remove the fuel? I need to remove fuel from the tank before junking the car. The fuel pump (under rear seat) has a nipple where a hose can be attached. I'm thinking it may be easier to connect the hose to the fuel rail feeder if that is possible? What size hose would I need?
The steel line from the tank goes up to the firewall, somewhere need the top middle. There is then a hard rubber hose with quick connect fittings on either end (maybe 1.5 ft in length). One connects to the hard line on the fire wall, the other to the fuel rail on the intake manifold. If you remove this rubber line, you should be able to get a 1/4" hose to slide onto the hard line on the firewall.

1/4" outer diameter? That would be a rather slim hose.
Do you know the nipple size (diameter, the width of the nipple) of the fuel pump under the rear seat? Supposedly a post on that subject already exists, but it doesn't turn up in my searches ("fuel pump nipple").

It is a pretty small fuel line. When I recently made a new fuel line from the firewall to the throttle body on my K swapped Civic, I used a 1/4" quick connect to 6AN fitting for the firewall side. Outer diameter measures around 1/4".

I do not.

I removed that thread as I thought it was essentially a duplicate of this thread.
If it's not obvious, I'm trying to have the tubing/hose ready before I remove the upholstery and access cover. I don't have a garage. So I'd like to gather as much material as I can before I start. Also, I don't have possession of the car for the time being.
ah, you are the junk or not the car.
if battery/fuel pump is operational, and you want to empty the tank, then a slightly larger hose with a clamp will work anywhere of the fuel system. Clamp it and turn the key on, fuel pump will push pressure to the system
