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?

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
