vertical axis doesn't show in ymode=log with pgfplots

Question

Consider the following MWE (mostly copy-pasted from this example) :

\documentclass[12pt,%                      
               a4paper,]{scrreprt}                 
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{tikzscale}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}


\pgfplotsset{
  every axis legend/.append style =
    {
      cells = { anchor = east },
      draw  = none
    }
}

\pgfplotsset{
  c v/.style =
    {
      every x tick label/.append style  =
        { 
          /pgf/number format/.cd ,
           precision = 1 , 
           fixed         ,
           zerofill
        },
    },
}

\makeatletter
\pgfplotsset{
  tufte axes/.style =
    {
      after end axis/.code =
        {
          \draw ({rel axis cs:0,0} -| {axis cs:\pgfplots@data@xmin,0})
            -- ({rel axis cs:0,0}  -| {axis cs:\pgfplots@data@xmax,0});
          \draw ({rel axis cs:0,0} |- {axis cs:0,\pgfplots@data@ymin})
            -- ({rel axis cs:0,0}  |-{axis cs:0,\pgfplots@data@ymax});
        },
      axis line style = {draw = none},
      tick align      = outside,
      tick pos        = left,
      axis line style = {opacity=0}
    }
}
\makeatother
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{tikzscale}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=1.\textwidth,axisratio=1.618]{myfile.tikz}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

And the myfile.tikz:

\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[c v, tufte axes,font={\sffamily},every axis legend/.append style = {at = {(0.9,0.5)}},
ymode=log,
legend entries={{q = \SI{48}{\kilo \pascal}},{q = $96 kPa$}}
]

\addplot [line width=0.30000000000000004pt, blue]
coordinates {
(4.5,1038900)
(4.60606060606061,1138300)
(4.71212121212121,1246900)
(4.81818181818182,1365900)

(14.8939393939394,1367150000)
(15,1448750000)

};
\addplot [line width=0.30000000000000004pt, green!50.0!black]
coordinates {
(4.5,2073100)
(4.60606060606061,2270700)
(4.71212121212121,2486100)
(4.81818181818182,2720700)
(4.92424242424242,2976300)
(14.5757575757576,2029699999.99999)
(14.6818181818182,2150580000)
(14.7878787878788,2277379999.99999)
(14.8939393939394,2410969999.99999)
(15,2551200000)

};

\end{axis}

\end{tikzpicture}

THe y axis is not plotted, whereas in normal mode (ie, comment ymode=log) it is. How can I fix that?

In logarithmic scale {axis cs:\pgfplots@data@xmin,0} means draw something from (<finite>,<infinite>). That's why it trips up — percusse, Feb 07 '15 at 07:17

With the new features of PGFPlots this is quite easily achievable. Therefore I adapted this answer.
