Sorry to hear this. I was also wondering.....how did you determine that she did that? Did she leave a note? Have you run the engine since? What was the chemical dumped into the tank?..... sugar? How much? Remember, you can't fix crazy. Did you call the police? This would fall under vandalism on your insurance.

Take it easy !!! There are several posts on changing fuel pumps. The tank has a large lid on top of the tank under the battery. Follow the instructions and it should be easy to clean. You can access the entire insides of the tank to flush and wipe clean. Caution---Do this outside, flashlight only, no electric lights. Place battery far away from any "Mistakes" Good luck. "

+1 Millie Access is actually pretty easy from that point.

When I had to pump the gas out of my tank on other vehicles I was restoring I was able to run a hose off the fuel pump to a gas can to let it run the tank dry. Of course you have to shut it off as the tank empties out or risk damaging the pump. In one case I bought a cheap aftermarket fuel pump designed to use outside of the tank at checkers and added some alligator clips and wires to hook it up to the battery and pump the gas out. Not sure how easy or hard this would be on a Boxster, but from one of the earlier posts it sounds like the pump is fairly accessable under the battery.
Not sure how you are going to dispose of all that bad gas though.
