Question

....you know, between the tank and the injectors?

Just wondering, I wouldn't want to do an ECU reset after a fill up to find its recalibrating itself on the old fuel!

I think its about 1 litre, does anybody know??

Blimey, the things I think of when I can't get to sleep - sad I know..

Justin,

The fuel in the lines will quickly be mixed into the fresh tank fuel via the return line

Really?

So if you let the engine idle for a few mins the fuel should have recirculated and mixed with the fresh stuff?

Wow, I learnt a new thing today, my only previous encounter with a fuel line is when one split on my mini! I'm sure that didn't have a return - hmmm SU carbs, those were the days

It should take less than a few minutes to circulate, should be a matter of 30 seconds or less really.
