That would work *if* it had a gas engine. With the Diesel, you're probably not going to find anything there except hoses. How full is the fuel tank? 1/4 or less, just pour in as much fresh fuel as you can. Starting may be a problem. Were it I, (and I'm no expert) I'd replace the fuel filter just to get rid of the algae that's probably growing in it. DO NOT use ether as a starting aid! WD-40 is a much better alternative. Just spray into the intake while a helper cranks the engine. Be aware though that too much will cause a runaway. You migh also consider joining one or both of the Diesel specific groups. <vwdiesel@vwfans.com> or <Audi-VW-Diesels@yahoogroups.com> Jim VWNut Hawk wrote: > It would be easy to get the fuel out.
