Does anyone know a easy and not too messy way of draining most of the fuel out of the tank (spare me the jokes about driving it winkeye ), any advice appreciated :thumb:

take the fuel feed hose off @ the fuel rail, short the fuel pump relay socket so the pump runs 24/7 and use that to pump her out fella.

tried and tested btw, 100% working

Or you could use the drain plug on the tank.
