Can someone suggest a straight forward way of draining the fuel tank on my Mk2 (NO drain plug) that has about 75% of stale petrol in the tank?
Thanks if you can

Hi and thanks for your reply.
AFAIK, a petrol tank drain plug was only fitted to Mk2 Rev 1 & 2 cars, maybe only to genuine imports ? I do not know if the same is true for grey imports.

Disconnect the fuel hose at the fuel filter and bridge B+ and FP+ together in the diagnostic connector

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try.

Thanks - I also need to do this - I'm assuming same procedure on all years/revisions?
Can I get access to the hose from the top of the engine bay? (It's currently in a location where it's very tricky to raise it up - so trying to do this from the topside if possible - I won't be back there until this weekend, so it'd be good to know what I'm up against!)
Thanks,
