The vent for my fuel tank (a copper tube coming through the deck) snapped off and a lot of water got into the fuel tank. My mechanic said I should pump out the tank and purge the system up to the carb.
Any suggested procedures for doing this? I ordered a hand pump from Amazon and was hoping that would allow me to get most of the bad gas out of the tank from above through the fuel tank fill cap. Next I figured I could use the same pump from below and suck fuel through the system from somewhere before the carb.
As a final step, I was going to add some new gas and maybe some stabil to mop up any excess water.
I'm a bit of a newb to the A4 (and engines in general), so if anyone sees any problems or has suggested additions to this procedure, I'm all ears.
