[QUOTE="T_G, post: 138541, member: 175083"] Hi ChH Sorry to hear about your trouble. I am not that familiar with the tank, but there should be a method of emptying it. Even if it means getting any 12v second hand fuel pump from the breakers (can't be too expensive) and pumping the fuel out from the filler with a thin hose attached. May take about 10 minutes or so, but will do. also, make sure the tank breather is not blocked, next time you have this problem go to the cap and open it. If you feel a lot of vacuum inside this could be the problem. I've seen a tank that was completely sucked in and ruined becuase of this! Another problem with Diesel engines as you know is that if it is sucking air from somewhere it may cause problems... [/QUOTE]
