No Start w/ Code 21

I sucked the half tank of gas out where the fuel pump goes with a hand siphon pump. Replaced the fuel pump while I was there. However I cut a hole under the back seat so I did not have to drop the tank.

Couldn't I just take the fuel filter off and run the pump?

Not sure if that will work.. Worth a try though you are gonna want to replace it anyways after sitting that long.

Other posts have reported you can disconnect one of the vent hoses at the tank and insert a siphon pump hose through there. But how much gas is in it? If you can cut is 50-50 with fresh gas, it should be okay. Dump in a can of Techron to add detergency.

Well, depending on how accurate the gauge is. It reads almost 3/4 of a tank, so either way I would have to drain the tank somewhat.

I tried another way of draining the tank and it worked. What I did was ran a fuel pressure tester line off of the schrader valve on the rail into a gas can and ran the fuel pump through the EEC test connector. It's definitely not the fastest way but it works well.

I filled the whole tank up with fresh 93 and it still runs like ****. Could it still be out of time?
