Title: Syfening fuel tank
Post by cbrookes on Mar 19^th, 2004, 12:26pm

I have got a 24v Ultima which has died and would like to know how difficult it is to empty the tank as it is nearly full. Thanks

dont know about the 24v,but my 2.3 has a wire mesh type material in the filling tube (designed to stop syphoning),could be possibly done with a thin tube,but would be quite time consuming,cant think of any other method at the moment

You could I supppose disconnect the fuel line under the bonnet and turn on the ignition, maybe, ::). the fuel pump might empty it for you into a suitable container.
