HI,

How do I empty my fuel tank?

I thought about simply putting a hose in the tanks and doing it the old school way but I dont want a mouth full of fuel so are there any alternatives?

 

I tried to locatre my fuel return line but got confused has anyone got a picture of which one it is as theis is prob the safest way.....

Drive it:D

If you have a SWB then they have drain plug bolts in the bottom of the tank, otherwise I guess you could undo the pipe that comes from the fuel filter to to the balance bar and put the end into a container and crank it over, depends how much is in the tank now though as you would'nt want to be doing that for too long.

Its a 2+2 sadly

the reason is iv sold it and its got £60's worth of fuel in it which my other car would like ha ha.

Thats what i done with my s13 when i just bought the zed, i actually took out the fuel pump and used a small hand syphon

that could work i guess

Drive it:D

 

ha ha, bet it would be quicker to drive it empty than try to syphon it:rofl:

I'd just drive the car as much as possible before the new owner collects it mate - it's not worth the hassle for £60;)

 

Richard:cool:

il have to suck some petrol as its not insured anymore, oh well hospital here i come!

Done that b4 but did take a while

drive around untill you run out then throw a match in the filler neck to burn off the excess........

 

 

dont you just hate people who give bad or un thaut thru advice!!

 

;) ***do not throw a match in your fuel filler neck!!***

I took the pump out and syphoned mine out when I broke her. Put it in the Skoda and lasted about 3 weeks, lol.

just ask the new owner to buy it off you at a discounted price;)

I bought something from my local car spares shop for this.

It's pump that fits on the end of a drill.

 

It's black plastic with a metal shaft which you attach your drill to.

 

It emptied out 30+ litres from a Honda Jazz tank pretty quickly I'll tell you :D

Took me about an hour and a half to empty £60 worth of v-power from my s13 with a small hand pump!

There you go then, worth it for £60's worth of fuel:)

Its done guys, went to my local garage and borrowed a little pump and went in through the top on the fuel tank, took a while but iv got 2 tanks for my integra, happy days!!
