Re: Draining old fuel

I am bummed to say I never did this but this week for sure. I just got to my Camaro SS so that fuel was older. Can anyone tell me where is the relay on this car? And do I jump #30 and # 87 pins?

Re: Draining old fuel

That's sounds good, can I remove the Schrader valve at the fuel rail and use a hose there? Can I leave the fuel relay in?. Big thanks for help guys.

Re: Draining old fuel

I thought about that,a couple of tears ago I tested if the pump was working ,as it turned
out the tank was empty??
Can you explain stunting? And even jumping the pump?.Sorry to ask this much,I guess if I turned it over with starter it might damage something since the fuel would pump.out the fuel.

It takes 2 grometts so be very careful they get brittle ...
