Draining the fuel tank on 2005 RT

Post by jackronner »

I'm sure it's frustratingly difficult, and I'm petrol-fied I'll cock it up.  Can't see the holes at the bottom of the inlet well, and need to know if a thin plastic siphon hose will damage anything if I probe around, or if there's even room to get the hose down to the reservoir's bottom.

Here's a couple of videos, one shows the filler neck being removed, the other removing the fuel pump etc.

They might give some indication of what's inside the tank.
