Purchase a small inexpensive hand pump. Use this pump to remove all the fuel from the tank.
hi, can anybody help. Does anybody out there know the best way to drain the petrol tank on a renault espace 2004
You MUST drain the fuel tank and get all the gasoline out of all the fuel lines. Gasoline will damage a diesel engine.
To drain the fuel from a W Reg Renault Scenic, a person might have to have the tank removed and drained that way. Most newer vehicles have anti-siphon mechanisms inside the gas filler tube to prevent people from stealing gas.
There is none.
If its the same as my 2.0 petrol its just in front of the petrol tank, (near the drivers side rear wheel).
There isn't one as such. You would have to disconnect it a little to drain it.
No. And it can be expensive to fix. If you're not under a warranty, try an independent dealer to drain your tank and fuel lines before going to dealership who may charge you the earth.
Petrol engine filter is located under the floor near to the tank.
Drain the tank, replace fuel filters, refill with gas and hope for the best.
The only way is to pump the fuel out with a small hand pump.
if you are not going to re use the tank you can drill the plastic, there is no drain plug, the best thing to do is to run it low then remove it, if you still need to drain it you will have to take out the fuel pump and tip the tank upside down
Fuel gauge problems are usually the fault of the fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank, just saying.
