Hi mate when i did mine i took the rubber filler pipe off the side off the tank behind the O/S/R wheel and pulled it out that way i did have a hand pump at work but it would be just as easy with a bit of hose and a good suck  :shock:  :->

Trust me mate i tried draining the fuel out of the black disco like that and after a few tastes of diesel got fed up with it keep stopping :evil:

However the good news is that i have managed to drain the tank tonight using a big syringe and a lot of sucks ;)(approx 30 litres).I refitted the lift pump and put in some fresh fuel.Started no problem and have been for a thrash around and it goes like a gudun!! Filled it up £115 :'( and  [-o< it will be alright!

Thanks for all your help

Neil....
