Hello,

There is a drain located below the fuel cap. It is visible when you open fuel flap and is just at the bottom of the rubber collar that sits kind of under/around fuel filling "pipe". Mine is blocked and water is collecting in the space under the fuel flap. Does anybody know where this drain comes out under the car? I have tried pushing a flexible wire through it from the top to unblock it, but was not very successful although I was able to push quite a bit of the wire through. I thought I could maybe tackle it from the bottom end if anybody knows where it comes out.  

Perhaps try sucking from the top end.

I don't have anything to suck it with. I think I'll just keep trying to push the wire through from the top and see how it goes. 

I was also thinking if I could try and blow some compressed air through it, but not sure if this could cause any damage or not.

Compressed air at around 30psi should sort it. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Yes, I favour compressed air over wire. If the drain tube is plastic it could be pierced by wire at a bend.

Thank you for your replies and suggestions. In the end a lot more persistence and a different flexible wire has sorted out the issue.
