have a r reg brava, 1.4, need to empty the fuel out, but can not get a hose in to get it out, does any one know a other way or where the fuel pump is so i can disconnect the wire and run it off that way

cheers
 
I don't know about the brava but my coupé has an anti theft mechanism in the "fuel filler pipe", this makes it impossible to get a hose down that way. Perhaps it's the same on the brava?

The fuel pump is inside the tank. I think you can reach it from the boot.
 
the easy way is to take the fuel line off the fuel rail and switch the ignition on, some will say this causes excess wear on the pump when it becomes empty but IMO the wear will be negligible.

usual disclaimer applies though, its not my fault if the pump wears out :)
