What about getting some octane booster to save the hassle?

Unless you need a specific fuel mix requirement then id get a hosepipe and shuv it into the filler cap and start sucking until ya get a taste of it and keep a nice length out of the cap and it should flow freely when you hold it down....

yeah as above or wack some redex in the tank, shouldnt really do any harm tbh, go put some octane boost in and rake the car about using the fuel as fast as possible, should not take long at all :homme:

yer thats a good idea, redex or something

Just fill it up to the brim with optimax then it should sort it, emptying the tank can only be done by removing it, you can almost empty it with just the fuel pump though and bridging the relay ;)

redex and rake it! my fuel gauge just keeps dropping if rake it or just hold the revs at 4k in the street :homme: lol(wouldn't do personally)
