Delivery rate of the stock fuel pump is 15 gallons per hour so in
theory the pump can empty the fuel tanks in less than an hour.

Thanks folks.
I should find out more, this morning. At least I feel better prepared to
deal with this.
Once before at that shop a mechanic left the ignition switch on and the
battery was almost dead when I arrived so I wonder, why no mention of a
dead battery this time.
I further wonder whether the pump is really shorted to "on,' and working
with the ignition switch off. Pouring in a gallon of gas should test that
"theory."
I'm curious as well regarding how long would it take to push any significant
volume through the system, in this manner.
OTOH Murphy's Law being always in effect...
