Need To Drain Current Petrol Any Easy Way Beside Letting It Run Out While Car Is On

[boostn0199]

As the topic title states just want to get rid of all the petrol in the car and looking for the easiest way.

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

Yeah couldnt get a long enolugh house to reach , ill take out the fpr hose now.

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.

oh well just kept priming it and evntually its out now.

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

this is where a hard wired fuel pump comes in handy....

or u can just ground the fuel pump pin on the ecu while ignition is on
