I wonder if anyone can tell me how to remove the fuel from the tank of
an
07 Astra Design Estate. I have a 5 gallon container and a hose.



Remove the fuel pipe from somewhere obvious (filter perhaps) under the
bonnet and turn on the ignition. Sit back and watch it pump out.


Will this work if it's a diesel? I know it wouldn't on earlier Astras.

If it wouldn't, you're stuck with sucking/syphoning the stuff through the
pipe leading to or from the fuel filter. Possible, but slow, and you may
have some trouble bleeding out the air you'll probably introduce.


It worked with a diesel Mondeo.
