Get a petrol jiggler hose, put the brass end in the tank (of course it will have to be quite long), jiggle it a bit and that will get most out

Then take the line off the fuel reg and turn the key to ON so the pump primes. Repeat. Will take a fair while but it's simple.

Btw that's what happened to my car when it switched to e85. I got the shits with the tiny bit that was coming out with every prime so it was easier to just turn the fuel pumps on through the ecu and it took hardly any time at all to empty the tank

Is there a way to turn on the pump from the powerfc hand controller to keep working til it runs out?

I had to empty mine and i used the jiggler through the boot opening. Was a pain and it stank of fuel everywhere but it got done. Then a mate said why don't you just drill a hole in it at its lowest point and then use a roofing screw ( which has a rubber seal on one end ) and put the screw in the hole. I thought that could work but didn't attempt it.

On my previous car I pulled off the fuel return line and pointed it into a bucket and started the car. It then pumps all the fuel into the bucket.

this is what i do when i swap between 98 and e85

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
