It needs an aircraft style poppet valve under the tank where a nozzle on a bottle is pushed in the valve. Water drains test. Done in a daily inspection. Maybe all cars will have it eventually.
Wishful thinking. Stupid boy pike.

No, I wasn't agreeing that water in the fuel tank might be the problem, but I cant imagine it would do any good.

Sorry for the misunderstanding I may have caused,Im gobsmacked that there may be water in the fuel,hence the "water in the fuel lines?" surprise

For some reason, the forum won't let me post my longer reply, go to Toolstation and buy 2L of meths and add it to ~1/4 tank (no more than 1/4) of fuel, drive until it's nearly empty then fill up with Super unleaded/E5 and don't use E10 again as it has a higher water content.

Hopefully this post works!
