Can anyone suggest any techniques for removing water from the bottom of a fuel tank? Replacing my fuel filter this weekend made my car idle much better for a bit, but it's started misbehaving again, and I suspect water in the fuel tank may be the cause.
I don't think it's got a drainage plug on the bottom of the tank, and would rather avoid removing the whole tank if I can. Are there any additives available that can help? I've read comments that putting a small amount of meths in the tank can remove the water (not sure quite how), but it sounded a bit dubious to me so I thought I'd ask the experts advice here instead! ;-)
If I was to get a siphon pump, would I be able to put it in through the fill-up hole, right to the bottom of the tank and remove any water like that, on won't that work? (we've got one which works very well for siphoning out the water from a fish-tank, although obviously the fish wouldn't be too happy if I used that!)
Thanks in advance,
Ben.
