Sucking water from diesel tank

[colind3782]

How did you get past the S bend in the filler pipe?

I didn’t. I disconnected the top of the sight glass and sucked it from there.

One of those clunk things that are used in RC plane fuel tanks or strimmer tanks would be ideal and a less likely to fall off
You can usually buy them complete with a length of the very flexible silicone tubing they use so it should find its way right to the bottom.


I found these fuel "clunks" I think I will try turning one up only with a cone on both ends so it doesn't get jammed on the filler pipe when removing.
