Maybe a stupid question but I want to drain old fuel from my car. I have tried a couple of different syphon hoses / pump things and they seem to get stuck or hit a snag so don't get into the actual tank.

The service manual says there is no drain plug on the tank so do I go through the fuel pump inspection plate in the boot?

Any ideas?

take the fuel line off the fuel rail and let the pump do it's job?

I thought ecu would tell the car to shut down if fuel was not returning?

I ended up going through the inspection plate in the boot, which wasn't to bad.

"R", if you can't do it Duncan's way, you can pour in some methylated spirits which dissolves the petrol > then empty it once again.

The reason for this is, the residual mixture (of just a few millilitres) is flammable, but not explosive.

Later on, just refill as you have done before.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
