Ryan A Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Ive done it to my m8s ford escort and we had to depreassurise the fuel system and we did this by taking out a fuse then startin the car up until it died due to no fuel pressure, But i dont know which fuse it is in the starlet na. Can anyone help? Thanks very muchRyan Quote
Ryan A Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 Dont really need to do that, you can take the cap off the fuel flap, dunno if that makes a diffrence though Its only a wee bit of fuel that pisses out anyway Ok thanks will give it ago and report bkRyan Quote
SiCaln Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 hmm if only u had listened to me in the first place Quote
ste91 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Digging up old threads here, but just want to double check before I go spraying petrol everywhere - Is it ok to just do the "take the filler cap off" method? Or do you need to take the fuse out and get it out of the system? Quote
Starletraje Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 emm... take the fuel filler cap off... how did i manage to accidently drive 15 miles with it off once if it kills the engine? Quote
Tintin_SR Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 bud i think that there meaning that when you take the fillet cap off it lets a bit of preacher out of the system, or thy mean just take the top connector off the filter Quote
NightSpirit Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Never done a fuel filter on the EP..did it on a 306 TD and done it on the Jag loads of times..never needed to do anything other than whip off cover to filter, remove filter, replace filter...bolt up and drive. Quote

NightSpirit Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 It's not a tricky operation..so no need to over complicate it If you set yourself on fire or blow up, I never said anything right? ;) Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Taking the fuel cap off will just release the pressure in the fuel system so it doesnt spray out when you undo the first bolt, instead with the cap undone it will just be a pathetic dribble like an 86 year old man at the urinal.;) Quote

Nice precise description there. ;) Quote
