    How can you drain the fuel tank?

    The eaton is out so dont say just drive the car. lol

    Ok guys I have looked all over the internet and I guess the only way to get the pumps to stay on is in the tune. Is this correct? I have not found a magic wire to jump or anthing else that will help like in the lightning. What I was going to try fail! I disconnected the out side on the fuel filter and hose a hose clamp to secure a fuel line to it. Well is was a great plan until only a cup or so of fuel came out because the system only primes for a second and turns back off.


    Needless to say I am doing this the hard way and dissconnecting everything so the tank drop straight down FUEL and all. I would like to find some info to keep anyone else from running into this.

    Well thanks for playing but none of those will work.
    1. Cobra has a FPDM that is comtrolled by the computer and no relay to be found.
    2. Cant stick a hose down the filler because of the one way ball thing.
    3. Turning it upside down. lol (We will pull it full)

    I was about to drill a hole in the stupid thing. lol Why didnt anyone mention that? lol
