thats sucks man, heaps....hey if you go to bunnings or somewhere like that..in the tools section (i know at my old work they sold this in the tool section, used to work at bunnings)...there's a drill attachment you can get...it's black, and has an inlet and outlet for whatever you want to transfer..you attach a hose to the inlet, put the other end of it in your fuel tank...connect a hose to the outlet and put that end of that hose into a bucket or something...then you attach the part to the drill and get just hold the part so it doesn't spin around and turn the drill on...when you first buy it get aot of water through it though, it has some weird white shit inside it before you use it...the part is only as big as your palm or so...i'll try find what im talking about, if not, i'll send a picture of mine

extremely similar to that.....my inlet and outlet are at an angle, like ears on it haha..and have the ridges on it so it's designed to have hoses put over the top of it

cheers mate

Hi,
You can siphon from the fuel filler down to a minimum amount.

If you have the little tool to remove the fuel filter, then you can disconnect the filter and drain from the rest from the tank.

Just be careful with the amount of fuel. If you suspect the fuel has beebn tampered with, I would discard it.

Then add a litre of methanol ( from Coles etc) and fresh tank of fuel.

thanks for that guys i might go to bunnings and see if thet have to that tool
it will come in very handy cause my mechanic want $110 to empty it out for like labour and that and then if there was anything put in there he said he would take the tank out clean it and everything but that will cost alot more

cheers
