My verada has been in the garage for 10 years and for the last few years I've been unable to start it.
I did not know that fuel goes off and when it wouldn't start I just left the situation for later (neglectfull I know).

There is ignition but not even a tiny smell of fuel in the engine bay.
I don't feel the fuel line to the fuel rail is being pressurised when I power the fuel pump via the test connector. The fuel pump draws a fair amount of current so it may just be stuck.

Does anyone have any info on dropping the fuel tank, removing / cleaning / replacing the fuel pump etc.

I know for the TR a fuel pump replacement was pretty straight forward. I think for memory 8 screws, fuel line and plug to be undone the a firm yank releases the seal, make sure you dont get any fuel in your eyes, that shit burns.

Sorry I cant help anymore

Thanks B00F_93.

Hoping its much the same for the KS. Service manual indicates lowering the fuel tank to get the pump assembly out. No mention of any plug.
Could'nt find any drain plug and can't get a hose in to syphon the last 20 litres of fuel out.

Always worth asking for experiences of others in doing this.

Generally i disconnect the electrical socket (plug) at the pump and connect a power supply to it and disconnect the return hose up front to the tank and put a longer pipe on and stick it in a jerry can and the start the pump by turning on the power supply.....either a battery charger that supplies enough current of a car battery.

Thats a good way to empty the petrol tank. Only problem for me is that the fuel pump isn't working. I'll try it though and at least it will re-affirm if the pump has failed.

Using the method of "connecting a hose to the fuel return line at the pressure regulator" I got very little flow rate.
Took about an hour to fill a 20 litre jerry can (about 300 ml/min).

I was expecting a higher flow rate but have no idea what to expect in terms of flow rates here.
Presumably the fact that the pump operates against a high pressure has a significant impact on the flow rate.

I know these pumps without "head" have a much higher flow rate (at least 1000 ml/min).

Does anyone know what kind of flow rates I should expect from the fuel return line?

I've been unable to start it

Have you tried "Aerostart"?

Sorry, its a different car that I was emptying, a magna TS.
The magna TS starts and runs fine and is just my spare parts car.

Veeone mentioned in this thread, that his way of emptying the petrol tank was to run the petrol pump and divert the fuel return line into a jerry can.
I sort of expected a higher flow rate but have no idea really.

Don't want to leave petrol in the tank as it goes stale, acidic and oxidizes the additives into a gritty rock hard substance (asphaltine!).
The grit settles on all surfaces in the petrol tank and innards of the petrol pump (causing it seize)
Been there before with the verada KS and not falling for that again.
