The t4 has just over half a tank, which will inevitably go stale, and the se is quite low, so I plan to take the fuel out, ideally without having to take the sender out, and driving to work and finding the little submersible I've got there, is there an easy way? I know on some cars there's a tank bung you can remove, and you can also get away with popping a hose off in the engine bay and let the fuel pump do the work, but I'm unsure of the fuel pressure involved on these so don't fancy firing fuel around at a few hundred bar as that's not exactly safe. Many thanks in advance __________________ 02 V40 T4 S, "Sargent silver" she's back!
