Draining petrol tank on 307

I'm tempted to drain the petrol out of my 307, having filled with
Tescos petrol at the weekend (I never normally do but was passing ....
oops).

Is it easy to do ? Is the only way invlolve me getting a mouth full
of petrol through a rubber hose ?

Cheers

Hi Dave
Not sure how you to drain it, but I think you will find that you can't
syphon it via a rubber tube. Alot of cars have an anti syphon mesh fitted
around the neck of the tank to stop people from nicking it.

Just put up with it , like all the others and claim the cost back for
the work you might have to have done on it.keep all recipes

 

Why? You gonna cook with it?!!! LOL


Actually, the way we do it at work is to take the fuel pump out of the
tank under the rear seat and use a tube. You could get a siphon device
from Halfords for a few quid if you don't fancy a drink of unleaded!
There is a way of putting a live to the double relay and letting the
pump push it out. But I never fancy letting the pump run for that
amount of time nonstop!

 

Just because you filled up at a Tesco place, does not automatically mean
that you will have bought a bad load of fuel.

 

Sure, but it was one of the stations reported as having had lots of
people having problems and I was thinking it might be worthwhile
draining sharpish. But ive had no symptoms so have just decided to
keep topping up often in order to dillute the tescos stuff.
