Gutted! Threw one away a couple of weeks ago :( I'm sure someone will have one, as these don't tend to sell very well when people break a car, and they're often left hanging around and end up in the skip!

JC, can't you repair yours? it's only plastic.

We have one still attached to the car. Can you say the best way to disconnect and drain?

Matt, the fuel pipes just pull (or cut if need be) off. It's really easy to remove- just take the 3 straps off and ease it down. From memory that was all there was to it, although I'm sure if there are any more fixings you'll notice them easy enough. Just siphon the fuel out :)

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. As above the straps need to be taken off and the 2 bolts up near the neck as advised, plenty of lubricant needed in most cases!! Also when taking out don't forget to take the sender unit from the top of the tank to avoid any damage.
