Draining the fuel tank
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tip the fuel tank slightly upwards so that the openings for the pump and ejector have the highest position.
Remove all fuel lines and fittings, see Changing the fuel tank, AWD .
CAUTION:
Refit the retaining nuts, otherwise the tank sleeve coupling will swell and the nut will be difficult to fit with risk of shearing.
Suck the fuel from the RH and LH tank halves with an open hose connected to the fuel draining unit.
CAUTION:
Make sure there is proper ventilation and keep in mind the risk of fire
