is there any easy way to do this? iv got half a tank of 2 year old v-power i think will have lost its octane..

i would disconnect the inlet pipe on fuel filter and connect to a container then run a live wire to the live on fuel pump . this will drain and leave about a litre in tank at best , then refill with fresh

 

Pour in a bottle of NF Jon

 

Hi,
I had this problem as I just bought a 96 Type RA that has been sitting in the previous owners drive for 3 years!!!

I drained the tank which was over 3/4 full in the same way that wrighty has explained. When I was done I felt all god about it.!!!

My brother turned up and gave me an ear full. He is a mechanic and he told me that I could have poured in an additive!!! A bit late to ask him right now but I think it must be what 53WRX is talking about!!!

Good luck with it.

 

simple as that, a full bottle?

live wire fuel pumps a good one, thanks

 

Yeah baby ! det free in one bottle

 

not sure thats ideal for mapping

 

on the newage pretty sure there is drain plug in the centre of the tank underneath have you checked this ? not 100% but sure there is

 

il av a nosey but its only a classic

 

Two of my cars have a switched live feed to the fuel pump. This allows me to swap fuels over easily when required. I disconnect at the fuel filter and put a hose over the feed pipe direct to a 25 litre plastic container.
The other advantage is that I have an additional anti theft device.

 

one may very well come in handy

 

I would have thought the easiest way is to disconnect the fuel return after the fpr and run a hose to a container. Then run the engine on idle until it runs out of fuel. Pour some booster in if you want also.
