Hi all
I've got and arch and a sill to repair on my 5th gen.
I've got about quarter of a tank of fuel. I know the tanks got a plastic cover. Will I need to empty the tank? If so has any got a cheat way of dropping the fuel without dropping the tank?
Cheers

I had to drain a brimmed tank on the last lude - i cheated by:
1) disconnect the FPR 'spill' pipe going from the fuel pressure regulator back to the tank.
2) connect a pipe here to a suitable storage container (used a few meters of silicon hose so i can leave the can on the floor)
3) pull up the rear boot carpet, get to fuel pump wiring, attach small battery...
My car was halfway to being stripped, but you could probably short the relay under the bonnet to avoid messing in the boot to run the fuel pump.
It would be quicker also if you cracked the feed into the rail - but its then not easy to direct into a container so not as safe.
was taking about 4 minutes to fill a 5litre petrol can with my method - a full tank 10 or 12 trips that took!
note to self - do not fill up petrol tank after track days
