No...its all fucked up...



Syphon/pump out as much as possible, hook up battery charger... undo the line after fuel pump and turn engine over to clear remaining, in short spurts so as not to overheat starter...... short of dropping tank thats it..... and after three years that might be an event.....

Im trying to avoid the ""Event"" Part .. Im thinking dropping the tank would be the quickest way ..

There are products made expressly for injection and fuel that has sat too long....

The tank removal is the best in the long run......

Yea Im thinking I might as well do it right ,, Cutting corners just causes more issues in the long run.

under the vehicle there will be several places where there is rubber fuel line, take it apart there and do as twisty said. hook up a battery charger and turn the key on and let the fuel pump do the work for you.

Its easier with a carb.. when I worked at a gas station we had a water leak into a tank and had to empty 25+ cars... you can unhook the gas line on them and pour gas from a cup into carb to run car while gas drains.. not that easy with injection...

My 1st two cars were VW.. great cars.. I had a 1600 and 1800 super beetle.... One guy can take out a motor.... no lifts... 4 screws and pull..... I remember the defrosts were crap...even with the gas heater.. I'd be driving with my hand out the window scraping as I'm driving..... they had a steel plate that covered the whole bottom.. i got stuck ON a tree stump once... no wheels touching ground..
Ahhhhh... Good times....

the biggest problem was...they were 46 hp. there is a company that builds a turn key motor that's 253 hp for $3000. they also sell 5-speed transaxle.
