Video tutorial

Have you filled up with petrol but your vehicle runs on diesel? With the help of this short video tutorial, you will learn how to quickly empty the fuel tank. Sometimes a distraction can be fatal and ruin your day, especially if you have a lot to do and need your car urgently.

Emptying the tank can be a slow process, but we have the solution. Take a thin plastic tube and make a hole large enough to insert a straw.

Once the hole is made, take an air compressor and insert a plastic straw into the nozzle. At this point, insert everything into the tube and place the end without the hole into the fuel tank while the end with the straw goes into a container, then press.

You will see the liquid flow out much faster.
