I visited my local parts factor and purchased a oil syringe pump (sealey brand 0047) £10.99 and a fuel can. when I got home I simply sucked up some fuel with the syringe and despenced into the inlet side of the filter,despenced the leftover back into fuel can,fitted new filter and bobs you're uncle shes running a dream again. My Mondeo started first time so this is the way to go for me from now on. 100,000 miles and counting
