FC3 Fore Controller
Is there a way to wire the fc3 controller to constant run to drain the fuel cell? Car has been sitting for two years and need to drain fuel now that we have the replacement motor in and ready to get tuned.

It don’t come easy.

Searches I’ve read are pretty much split between draining or adding new fuel to the old and calling it good. Guess it would depend on how much fuel is currently in the tank. Sorry, can’t help with how you’d jump the pump.

It’s 3/4 full so just adding probably wouldn’t help much. Thank you though. Someone has to know. I tried a toggle off the remote inputs and grounded them out to no avail so figured I’d ask here.

Is there a fuel door under the back seat to get to the fuel pump?
Also running your fuel pumps to drain the tank will probably over heat the pumps causing failure. If you don't have an access door like mine does, (me being the hack that i've been called) then I'd drop the tank to drain it.

Looks like to me disconnecting the +/- from PUMP1 connections and putting those wires to 12volts would power the pump no? 12volts to the pump wires, not the fc3 controller. applying +/- power to the remote side is basically what the car does when it's running, but I'd disconnect the car from the controller if you're going to apply power to the controller connections. All that fc3 controller is is a 3 relay board transferring high current from the battery to pump 1-3

Powering the remote is what connects the big power through the relay to your pump, but I'd be careful not to backfeed the car and dont run your pump dry.

I'd power the pump directly seems like a safer option than jumping the remote. What color wire is on your remote?
