push it in and fuel should come out under pressure so catch it with a cloth.

Go and buy a gallon of petrol (buy a petrol can if you have to).

Complete waste of everybodys time (especially yours) if you haven't got any petrol in it.

Is this by any chance a red W reg facelift? ;)

If so, it did exactly the same to me, once.

Ran fine, then didn't start, when low on fuel. Put a can in, and she fired straight up.......  :y
