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

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea I mean I know it exists, but finding (specifically) female BSPT to male NPT (i.e, to plug a Nissan OEM sensor into a 'standard' NPT port) was truly difficult. I don't think I'll recreate the setup I had in the past unless it's (possibly?) advisable with a stronger T piece made of steel, but who knows if the aluminium threads in the block become the next weak point etc. Given it may need to be redrilled out and something tapped into it, it'll need to be Female BSPT to the something that ends uo coming out of the side of the block.

      Sounds like a perfect time to harness up a couple of the dogs, show the horses what real power is about!

      And I'm guessing my GTR might be feeling a bit unloved. Had to push it out to get the R33 out, but couldn't push it back in (its a bit uphill,  haven't got around to installing that winch yet, and Kel complains that its "too hard" to help push cars uphill after her double back surgery....kids these days) Hopefully I can get that winch mounted and get her back inside before a pine tree falls on her in the storms coming this week.
