Default how to manually activate fuel pump

I read the sticky in the C6 tech but that doesn't seem to apply to the ZR1 (the jumping of the pump relay)

Other than loading up a tune via HP tuner to trigger the prime for say 30 or 60 sec a a time, how can I manually turn on the pump? (end goal here is to empty the tank)

After re-reading your post I realize you already figured out this won't work for the ZR1, I apologize.

ZR1 has a separate fuel pump control module. Use your Tech2 (or Nano, or MDI, or whatever) to command the pump on.

Do you have a mechanic friend with a power probe? Just give it juice at the pump.

I figured the fuel pump control module would not make this easy....
I ended up hooking up my hpt and set the fuel prime to 120 sec. Did a couple on/of rounds and I got 8 gal out in no time.
