Fuel pump relay 1999 Olds 88 3.8
I need to pump out some gas out of my car, Which one of the relays in the attached photo, do I need to remove, so I can jumper the pins and get some of the gas out, to put in my other car? I attached a photo of the relays my car has, numbered them 1-5. I did not see any markings on the relay center cover
Reason for the question: The crank sensor shot the rapids as I was making my paper deliveries, and need to take some gas from the Olds and put in my backup car to drive til I can get my Olds fixed in 3 weeks when I get paid

Just turn on the ignition. Better than messing with stuff and then having to fix that as well. All of that stuff is delicate and old by now.

I did that and it worked. Pumped the gas out from fuel rail through the release port on a fuel pressure test gauge to drain the tank before replacing. I thought the pump only runs a few seconds if the engine isn't running. Why did it run continuously?

How long did it run?

GM installed a single wire with a GREEN connector next/near the battery on vehicles around 95. If you apply 12V+ to this wire, it bypasses the FP relay/ignition etc and sends 12v straight to the FP. I found this on my 95 Bonneville.
