OMG petrol tastes horrible. I have just syphoned my old fuel tank in to the new one and accidentally got a mouthful of the vile stuff. I haven't had to do that sort of thing in years but I don't remember it tasting that bad.
YUCK!
Word of advice for anyone else that has to do the job, spend a couple of quid on a proper syphon rather than using a length of hose.
On the plus side I found 65 litres of petrol in the range rover I had forgotten was in there. SWMBO is happy as she has acquired 25 free litres in to her car as my new tank is much smaller.

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

A sip of green antifeeze will instantly remove the taste of petrol 
Sniffing brake dust will remove the smell too .

How rank? Even worse than their Chilean house reds?Welshie wrote:Don't try Tesco Momentum then, that stuff is rank!
That's a shame, their Diesel is very pleasant with a delicate, fruity nose and the gentlest hint of turnip rape about it. Only 94ppl if you buy from their catering department in 5 gallon drums.
