Al Massey Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I went through the boot. Undid the fuel pump cover and removed the fuel pump. Then had plenty of space to get the fuel out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 That's a good idea didn't think of that, do you know if there way to switch pump on and keep it on so can put container in engine bay with hose and pump fuel out using fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 You could remove the fuel pipe from the rail, take the fuse out for the starter and pump it out that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 When people change the fuel filter they often complain of the detached hose draining the tank.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I just siphoned the tank into jerry cans. Only needed a bit of hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I use a banjo bolt fitted to a couple meters fuel line then bridge the diag pins, pump then drains tank EDIT: misread, I fit a line to pump feed in the boot under the cover......
