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

      I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
