Don't bother. It'll be full of whatever shite is lapping around the bottom of the old tank and you'll merely transfer that to the new.

My old N reg metro going to the scrapyard & I'd like to recover the 20 quids worth of petrol before it goes. I've tried a tube in the tank without success, it goes in OK but won't go below the fuel level, so sucks air. Disconnecting the fuel filter & attaching a tube to it so as to use the electric fuel pump was equally unsuccessful, the pump would not operate with tube attached.



Any ideas as to the best & safest way?
