Hey.
I put contaminated diesel into my mk6 and it cut out after 200m..filter was full of water...
I have drained the fuel tank via syphon... Topped up with 20ltr of diesel and then a fresh filter.
Drove great for 2 miles then was struggling for power and jumping. Managed to limp home and got towed the last 100m when it cut out and wouldn't start again,
Last thing I done was take the filler hose off and jack the side of the van up and let the rest of the fuel run out into a container. Emptied the filter of the creamy coloured diesel.. Refilled and then put 10litres of fuel in... Started it and let it idle for 5 mins then took the filler hose off again.. Jacked up.. Drained and emptied filter.
Is there any way of draining out the very bottom of the tank... So I can replace with 100% fresh fuel...right now I'm trying to dilute what's left in the bottom because the filler hose is about 30mm above the bottom of the tank.
Any help appreciated. Very amature mechanic here just trying my best.
Thanks in advance.
