Hi,

Have a '05 S60r that's been sitting and I'd like to replace the fuel before this winter. I can't drive it enough to empty the full tank, and I've tried siphoning through the fuel fill to no avail. Does anyone have a good way to get the fuel out so I can replace with fresh fuel for the coming winter?

Many Thanks

 

how long has the car been sitting since the last time you filled the fuel tank? What does the gas smell like? How empty is the tank? Did you try using a small pump versus trying to siphon? Have you tried to access the fuel pump to see if you can pull it out to gain access to the fuel? If the tank is say less than half full, and the gas is not really old (ie not more than a year or two) then you may get by by adding some fresh gas (preferably premium that already has ethanol).
