Blaine Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 have u tried sticking a hosepipe in and sucking it through ?? or does that not really work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 yes there is a gasket but im sure it should be ok as its a rubber one i think so should re-seal again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planc Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 You can remove the fuel pipe from the filter at the fuel rail end and tilt it into a jug, in the diagnostic box short B+ with FP and whilst watching the jug and pipe get somebody to turn on the IGN.

X2 above Sound like the hard way - but trust me when I speak from experience & say if mr t was kind enough to give you a fuel pump, you might as well use it...

stevenc1603 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Now this might sound strange, but this was how I managed to drain about 25ltrs of petrol from the old Gen6 I had when it had been smashed and was getting taken away by the insurance from my drive. Going in under the back seat I located the connection plate where the feed and return lines are. I removed the return line from the tank and connected a bit of pipeline I had laying about, securing it with a jubilee clip. Now, sucking on the pipe produced sweet FA, but I found that by blowing into the pipe, thereby pressurising the tank, when I stopped blowing the fuel would then flow back out the pipe and into the canister I was catching it in. Don't get me wrong, this took a while, but it got there in the end. I think the other method of using the jumper wire and turning on the ignition would be easier, although getting the line off the filter can be a bitch.
