I still do not have an answer as to who did the reprogramming for E85 use on a 2005 GT, or an answer as to any upgrades in hardware as I asked earlier....
I can not help if someone is not willing to answer my questions, be it in English or French.

Okay here's the deal. I'll keep it in English.
In France there's an issue, the Yellow Jacket Revolt. President Macron instituted a high tax called the green tax on petrol. Consequently to save money in France they convert to E85 to avoid some of the taxation. Obviously the Bentley is a gas hog.
What is being missed here is the car doesn't care about politics. Simply put by Mister Hotspur, even if the car could successfully combust E85 everything supporting it through the fuel system is at jeopardy.

Exactly, and in the link provided, Bentley is not even an option to pick for conversion...

But NOT your 2005 GT, only from 2009 and newer on your side of the pond iirc, 2010 here with the Supersports, and as shown in the document you posted, it is only referring to the Supersports, not "all Bentley" as you stated, and no where does the document reference "2008".

excuse me for my English
the dismounting friends is simple but not easily accessible.
under the carpet at the bottom of the trunk you have two plastic hatches.
after removing the plastic plates you will find two electrical outlets per pump.
remove the two electrical sockets and then open the door of the metal pump by the left.
then lift the white lid.
and you see the pumps.
for the left pump, the float is on the left for the right door, the float is on the right, pull it slightly out of its base, and then remove the clips from each other.
of course well unplug the pipes and locate them to put them back well
I advise you for pipes that passes from one pump to another to connect with a small string for instalation.

I was able to unclip and remove the cylindrical float (for fuel sensor 2) and remove it. But that is where I am stuck now.
I cannot figure out how to pull the pump out of the tank. I have tried pull up with a lot of force and it won't come up. Is there something that I missed to get the pump to pull up?
I have unclip the hose at the top as well.
I figured someone might know what I am doing wrong and why the pump won't come up
Thanks

Figured it out.
There are two metal clips on both sides of the pump that hold it down. You must pop those off by pushing them away from the pump, and that will release the pump so that it can be pulled out. Obviously you must remove the various hoses to get the unit completely out of the tank.

Is this fuel pump removal procedure the same in a Flying Spur?
