Well, my pride and joy has officially been given the bullet by the insurance after its recent dust up with the No. 17 Bus :(

 

I'm currently in the process of stripping all of my "personal belongings" (Read: Everything that isn't bolted to the chassis) before they come and collect the car on Monday. One thing im particularly keen to get out of the car is the 60 quids worth of Super Unleaded it still has in the fuel tank. I've tried siphoning it off from the fuel filler this evening but only got a few hundred millilitres after which i was foiled by what i believe is an anti-siphon valve.

 

I was thinking of disconnecting the feed to the fuel filter and trying to gravity drain it but don't know if this will work as desired? I also believe the tank is accessible from under the rear seats, is it siphon able from there?

 

Cheers guys

I have siphoned out of the tank, pretty easy to do. Search back through my posts to last July/august and you should find it.

Disconnect the fuel feed from the rail. Extend pipe and put into can. Remove fuel pump relay, bridge terminals to power pump, watch can fill
