Unfortunately I ran out of warm time to paint the car so I am on hold and I want to get rid of the nasty ethanol gas that is in the tank and put in some non ethanol with some stabil so I don't have any surprises when I start painting again. I have read a couple of methods so as not to duplicate work.
1 is
Pump Operative
Remove LF fuel rail cover
DIS fuel return hose from fuel rail
Attach & clamp a length of flexible fuel hose (clear) to the fuel rail return pipe
Insert open end of fuel hose into an approved container
RUN ENG until it stalls
Reconnect fuel return hose to fuel rail
Continue procedure if the RT fuel tank still contins fuel
Position an approved container under the RT tank fuel sender
Attach a length of flexible fuel hose (clear) to an air operated pump device
Wrap shop towel around the fuel sender fuel feed pipe (jet pump to LF tank) at the RT fuel sender
DIS fuel sender fuel feed pipe (jet pump to LF tank) at the RT tank fuel sender
Remove plastic CON retainer from the fuel sender nipple
Attach & clamp the flexible fuel hose from pump device to the fuel sensor nipple
Drain RT tank until no fuel comes out
DIS pump device from the RT tank fuel sender nipple
Install plastic CON retainer to the fuel sender nipple
Plug or cap the fuel sender nipple and the fuel sender fuel feed pipe.
the second is http://www.aacorvette.com/pdf/aa_fuel_system_instructions.pdf
I am cautious about either of these and would like to hear from the seasoned members as to which method they recommend or another method preferably with pics lol that they recommend.
I have a 97 vette so i already know that it is its own beast such as the double fuel lines to the drivers side fuel rails.
