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?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
