It will have anti syphon.:mad:

The way to get the water out is out through the fuel sender in the tank, under the rear seat.

You need to get as much water out as possible, flush all pipes and change fuel filter ( I think there is one on the petrol) then fill the tank.

There is no drain plug on the tank either!!

Disconnect the multi plug to the fueltank pump and then disconnect the fuel out pipe and fit a 3 meter pipe to it and then to a big container now apply 12 volt feed to the two larges terminals and the pump will pump out nearly all of the contaminated fuel.As onzarob has said replace the filter and flush the system and all should be ok

Hi Guys

decided to do it myslef, so iv managed to get the fuel sender out, emptied the tank, and cleared all pipes etc, i have put 2 jerry cans (10 liters) of unleaded in it, but unfortuantly the car will still not start, it keeps trying to start but doesnt, in the end a message comes up on screen saying "oil press STOP" as it was doin in the first instance.

does anybody know weather there might be an automatic fuel cut off or something similar that would prevent my car from starting????

cheers
