If he was right handed, I understand his pain with the gas cap. LOL. I'd never be able to get it back on with my left hand.

Pressure set at 45psi and let it run, (took forever to get that little bit ran through) After doing so I didnt notice an increase in gas mileage much it was up to about 22-25 then. After 2 full tanks of gas it was up to 30-32mpg and I drive the hell out of it. I didnt notice any more power from doing so, but better mpg and it idled better. Definatly worth it.

Now with the new motor, double the horsepower and it running rich as sh!t with monster injectors and turbo, im still getting 22mpg. Im impressed

I've never heard of doing this pressure flush. What does this pressure tank look like and how did you connect, etc.?

Did you happen to replace the O2 sensor as well? That is a hefty jump in efficiency.

No I didnt replace anything before doing this, my fuel filter had been replaced a couple weeks before tho.

This tank is very similar to ours, we have a shut off valve and 2 gauges tho. I forgot to add that you have to clamp off your fuel return line and pull the fuel pump relay or fuse.

fyi in shop i work at lady brought in 05 turas with flex fuel system her ex sugared the tank not much we could/would do( brought it to us after bouncing check at an other shop) but did experiment eit sugar from fuel line and seafoam will disolve it so if anyone gets a tank with sugar seafoam can save some time and frustrations by useing it
