Default Empty fuel from tank...

AP2
Returnless fuel system


Im looking for the fastest and best way to empty ALL the fuel out of the tank. Im moving over to E85 and I need to get my piss gas out of the tank. Some people are stating (pull the fuel line and run the tank dry.) But I pulled the fuel that runs from the fuel rail to right below the block and nothing would come out. I would need to put the key into the acc spot to get the fuel pump to prime and then I got a lil gas but them it stops. How should I go about getting the fuel out????

if all else fails pull the fuel filter and pump out (move to the side) and use a hose with a hand pump to syphon the fuel out that way. you can get a little pump and hose for 5-10 dollars at an auto part store.

What tuning system are you using? If you have AEM setup the fuel pump as a generic output and turn it on 100% of the time when ignition is on. Then pull your fuel line and drain.

I have Hondata flash pro. I'm trying not to pull the pump. Anyone know if I can run a + wire to the pump so it will run with the car off?

I just ran it to 0 bars and then used the fuel pump priming to pump it out. Took awhile and many key turns, but it worked...

I would do yourself a favor, and put your pump on a relay, many how-to's posted here.

Then, it's just a matter of jumping a wire from that relay to your battery, jumper cable, or whatever to pump it out once you disconnect your fuel feed line on the rail.
