    Question L494 fuel sample collection

    Hi,
    I got a 2014 Range Rover Sport TDV6.


    Due to a warranty dispute with a mechanic, I need to get a fuel sample of the car and have it analyzed.


    I spoke to a company that does this, but they said they do not know how to get a sample out of this car and I would need to extract it myself.


    Is that doable for someone with minimal mechanical skills? Is it possible at all to push a small hose into the fuel inlet and suck out a little bit?


    A sample from the bottom of the tank would be ideal to detect water contamination, but I'll settle for anything that works.





    Thank you!

    Should be able to get it from the fuel filter inlet. What exactly are they looking for?

    Drain on the bottom of the fuel filter.
