Replying to: rcpax (Oct 30, 2009 11:11 pm) Thanks for taking the time to reply to my thread. I haven't seen a warning light yet. It has been a long process trying to drain the tank. The diesel is draining very slow. I am able to run the car for 5-10 minutes at a time before battery dies and then have to put it on charger for 30 min before trying again. Managed to get about 2 gallons out so far. I gave up for the night and will get the rest out tomorrow. Replies to this message: comem47 (Oct 31, 2009 6:44 am)

It will drain much faster (you would have been long done)and your pump and battery will appreciate a breather.
