I'm new on forum. I suppose my Q's have been covered before but I can't find a way of searching topics ? Sorry. What's the secret ?
I started total restoration about 5yrs ago - then got sick. Just getting back to the resto job (won't hear a word against the NHS). So the car has stood for 5yrs.
Q1. I assume I need to drain the bad fuel. It seems sensible to let the fuel pump do the work and collect bad fuel by breaking the supply line at the engine bay end - but I can't identify where the line is/goes. Have watched endless YouTube clips but variants of model/year seem to have totally different fuel supply routes/gear. Can someone send me a pic or link showing where the fuel line can be broken, and a collecting tube/tank attached ? Also, am I wrong in assuming that if I turn the ignition key one click it will fire the fuel pump into action ? I know I must not start the engine - because it's starved of oil and anyway it's stripped of exhaust, induction and other gear.
Q2. I left Tip selector in 'P' park. I want to push the car out of the garage so I can jet wash the underside and begin tackling corrosion etc. But the rear wheels diff won't allow car to move. Will it move if Tip selector is in 'N' ? If so, how do I select 'N' if I can't start the engine ?
Any advice re general topic of recovering the car from long sleep most welcome. Many thanks.
