unhook the overflow hose from the fuel filler hose and put a syphon hose through it to the tank. I used a 3/8 hose.

Follow from tank
In the fuel tank
On a 1996 Lincoln Town Car : The electric fuel pump is mounted INSIDE the fuel tank ( the fuel tank is a vertical tank behind the rear seat and the fuel pump is mounted in the side of the tank facing towards the rear seat )
You have to drop the gas tank to get access to the pump.
1995 and before has a siphon port at the rear of the tank. 1996 and later has to be drained with the fuel pump, or by removing the filler hose.
While holding the fuel tank up with a jack, remove the tank straps. Unhook the filler pipe then lower the tank slightly, and unhook the wiring and fuel lines. Lower the jack easily to aid in finishing the tank removal.
you can either pull the hose for it or you can usually just open the drain plug on the radiator
You have to remove the filler neck and hose from the tank then slip a siphon hose into the tank.
Unhook fuel fill spot, remove plastic tank cover, unhook tank support brackets Remove the fuel tank and there is a a ring on top of the fuel tank. Unhook the fuel lines and wires, remove the ring. Pull the pump assembly out. Install in reverse order. Also you can just take of the pickup box off. Removing the box is faster if you fuel tank is full.
