What is the purpose of the settling tank in a fuel system and what happens in the tank?

Ship fuel is not fed straight into the main engine, as first of all the HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is pumped and then separated into a settling tank (buffer tank). The settling tank is connected to the service tank (day tank). This service tank is filled via a continuous overflow from the settling tank and is also connected with the main engine. The oil is heated in both the settling and service tank to make sure that an even temperature of between +75°C and +90°C (or +167°F and +194°F) is maintained, as this keeps the heavy fuel oil (HFO) at a consistency that can be pumped easily.

How to get Oil out of fuel tank in an Audi 1.8T what to do?

The question is how did oil get in the fuel tank? If there was very little oil put in the tank as in less than a couple of quarts then just fill the tank full and drive the car. The oil will be burned with the fuel and will do no harm. If there was more than a couple of quarts, you can siphon it out with a hand pump. You can get enough out to then fill the tank and drive the rest out.
