hmmmm working on the pulsar tomorrow. wonder if its worth getting to the fuel tank and doing something. been 12 months, should get rid of the fuel. dont think it has a drain plug.

i really should change the fuel pump. purely because i havent yet.

If you're that concerned about bad fuel, disconnect the return line from the rail, run another hose from it to a container... turn the ignition on and let the fuel pump prime it all out... then put fresh stuff in.

Edit: Beat me to it :P

Be careful doing this IMO. If you're gonna empty a tank there's a good chance the pump is gonna suck up crap from the bottom / potential to stuff your pump or at least clog it and/or the filter and/or injectors The risk is low, but not the first time it's happened running a tank dry. Better off siphoning it directly from the tank itself IMO

Alternatively, drop car off in a remote community and come back to a clean tank

Glad it's sorted Greg.

Not sure how it would go priming fuel when there is no engine. I think the FPR is still in the engine bay but that's about it.

And I don't really want to hook up the battery because the alarm will go spastic.... f**k I want it gone. I would just cut the speak off temporarily but I heard they don't like that

You could uh, bridge the power to the pump with an alternate power source (i.e your battery) and take the line off? Or just run through terrible fuel.

.... I did it..... and I survived.. how bad could it be?

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
