No i would really reccomend either draining the entire tank or completely filling it with high octane gas.

The best way would to be removing the rear seat bench and opening the access hole where the fuel pump is and sucking it out with something. You will need some special tools to get the access panel off, or you can use a flathead screwdriver and a hammer if you want.

Man ive never come across that fault before, sounds like the turbo is siezed or no air is getting to the turbo or something? Is the air supply blocked off or is the air filter plugged up? I could be full of **** though.
Post another thread with that fault code.

Well then i would check the airfilter, and maybe take off the airhose to the turbo and try and spin the turbo with you finger, if the turbo doesn't spin maybe it is seized, but i really can't help you with that fault code i haven't come across it and im just kinda guessing.
