      Just for future reference Snewby, if you hover your mouse over the post # in the top RH corner of a post and right click you can select copy shortcut and paste that in as your link and it will take people to the exact post, like this http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post476410

      Rear tank is easy to drain, front tank not so easy. Maybe just undo the drain plug on the rear tank and top up with your preferred fuel, that should well and truly dilute the E10.

          The rear tank empties first so probably all your fuel is in the front tank! I know the diesels recirculate fuel so if you fill a diesel all the fuel mixes, not sure if that's the case with the petrol or not.

            I would not bother draining the tanks.
            The 120 Prado can use E10 and did not do any damage to my two 120's.
            If you are concerned, just fill up with normal unleaded, this will mix with the E10.
            I still use E10 on occasion with my FJ, depending on price....
            From experience, using premium unleaded will give more power and better economy.
            Sold the Prado. Now FJ Cruiser
