Fuel Tank Draining Method 2
- Install the fuel pressure gauge to the vehicle. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal .
- Place the bleed hose of the fuel pressure gauge into a suitable container.
- Command the fuel pump ON with a scan tool.
- Open the bleed valve on the fuel pressure gauge just enough to cause a restriction to the flow of the fuel rate at the bleed hose.
- Command the fuel pump OFF with the scan tool as soon as it is observed that no more fuel is coming out of the bleed hose.
- Remove the fuel pressure gauge from the vehicle. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal .
NOTE:
Do not leave the vehicle unattended when performing this procedure.
NOTE:
Do not fully open the bleed valve on the fuel pressure gauge. To drain both sides of the fuel tank simultaneously there should be a restriction on the flow rate at the bleed hose.
NOTE:
To avoid damage to the fuel pump do not allow the fuel pump to run dry while the fuel pump is in the ON state.
