We ship a lot of cars to other countries and it would be ideal to get all the fuel out of the tanks before we put the cars into containers. Most of these cars have filters in the fuel filler neck, so siphoning is not an option. I was wondering if it was possible to rig up a connection to the ‘air’ valve in the engine compartment (on the fuel rail) and turn the car on allowing the fuel pump to pump all the fuel out? Thanks for the answers and any other sugestions.

I have a 1990 chevy camaro rs. swapped the FI 305 for a carb. 355(bored 30 over). When I swapped engines I kept the electric fuel pump and installed a regulator. My ca kept dying no matter what I did so hooked up a fuel pump vacuum meter or whatever it’s called and this is what I found: with fuel regulator on it reads only 1.5 psi while running and drops to 0 then car dies, without fuel regulator it reads 3psi then drops to 0 while running, for everytime I turn the key to on position w/o regulator it raises psi by 3 or 4, if I turn key to on position 3 times it will read 10-12 psi then I started the car and it ran perfectly until it got down to 1 and 0 psi then it dies, the more I rev the engine the quicker the psi drops to 0. So what could cause my fuel pressure to drop so rapidly? It can’t be the fuel pump or fuel filter cause I just replaced them cause thats what i figured it was.

I took the car to a mechanic yesterday who said the fuel pump was bad. I’m assuming he said this because there wasn’t enough fuel pressure. I am still having the same stalling issues. I have read the fuel pressure regulator can cause this. I have personally replaced alot of other parts to rule out electrical problem. Any advise on how to test the fuel pressure reg will be appreciated. thanks.

In a few years?
In a few centuries?
In a few millenia?

How long?

Am jst curious to know whether are there any differences between the Fuel Tanks of different Aircraft Models other than the fuel capacity of the tanks.

Is there any change in the naming convenetions of the Fuel Tanks in different Models? For Ex. Tank 1, Tank 2, Tank 3, Center Aux Tank, Tail Tank … etc.
The details am interested in are…
Can I have uniform fuel loading computation that can be used irrespective of the models. For Ex. First, Load Fuel equally into Tank1, Tank 2, Tank 3 till Tank 1 & Tank3 is filled to max capacity.
Then, Load Tank 2 till it is filled to its maximum capacity.
Still, if U have remaining fuel to be loaded… load into the Center Aux and Tail Tank as per the GFS Ratio.
And fuel can be loaded to optional fuel tanks only in case the standard fuel tanks are filled?!

Kindly validate the above OR provide some reference to get information on theabove.

Does anyone know the ratio of airplane fuel consumption to ground fuel consumption? Also, what the **** is wrong with people these days isn’t there a way to get better fuel mileage than 6-7 gallons per mile on an airplane, when you’re traveling thousands of miles at a time?
