It would be easy to get the fuel out.  Can't you take the hose off from
in front of the fuel pump
underneath the sliding door side.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about my soon-to-be-new-to-me '82
Vanagon's
starter.  That problem has been solved and the starter is sitting with
my
toolbox waiting to go.  Now I've got some detail questions hopefully
someone can help with.  The bus has been sitting for about 8 months
now
(since the starter went out) and I'm planning on camping out in it the
first night I get it started, I also have to drive from Madison WI to
Louisville KY to get it home.  Here are my questions and thanks for
the
help.

1.  Is there anything in particular I should look at on a bus that has
sat
for so long before I make the drive?

2.  I've never had the "privilege" of working on a diesel engine.
Should I
siphon out the old fuel before trying to start the engine?

3.  What do I need to do to purge the water system?  I believe it was
emptied when the starter died but it's been sitting for 8 months now.
