What's the best way? Reason being it's a diesel tank from a donor and I have a petrol van. Rather than try find a swap for a petrol tank I might just use the diesel one, but obviously I want to flush it out. Also, daft question but with them being plastic tanks will this E10 cause problems with them over time or will the tank outlast the van?

I have a petrol tank and I’m ideally after a diesel. Fancy a swaperoo?!?

Tempting offer forden but I'm nowhere near you and I don't think they'd allow shipping of fuel tanks.

Maybe take a day out and meet at a pub for lunch somewhere in the middle… ?

Mine has been empty for so long I’d class it as an obscure plastic container and would probably miss out the fuel bit!
Do you ever venture towards the south coast at all? I have a night in Southampton on the 4th December so Winchester wouldn’t be too much of an issue?

I used a donor syncro diesel tank in my petrol syncro.
It was dry as a bone, but gave it a slosh around with a dollop of petrol which then went in my petrol lawn mower. Both mower and Syncro are still running fine. 
I also have a petrol syncro tank available for swapping or purchase, in North Somerset.

I’d planned to use my petrol tank in a Syncro conversion on my Gipsy but as I have used all the diesel bits with my GTi engine the diesel tank will suit me better hence the offer of a trade.

We do have friends down Newton Abbot but I doubt we will be visiting for quite some time, maybe sometime late next year we might be down that way but its all up in the air.

Why are you lot so far away
