Because I'm a poor petrol sniffer...
Not really. My EA died with a tank full of petrol. Considering I'm already in debt from buying the new car, I'm trying to get the most out of the EA before it gets scrapped. What would the best method to getting the petrol out be? I don't care what damage is done to the car, so would just ramming a hose down the filler and syphoning it out with some sort of pump, then feeding it straight into the AU be the best way? Keep in mind, I don't have a 70 litre container to hold it all. I can't do anything surrounding under the hood either, since the exhaust is off. Would make it a million times more dangerous! Thanks P.S. I tried the search function. Wasn't much help.

best way would be to attach a pipe to the pressure line, give the pump some grunt and pump away!

Sure is. My EF donor car had a full to the brim tank when i bought it, i just got the return line from the rail off, attached a hose to it, dropped it into my EB's tank, and bridged the relay for the pump.
Half hour later the EB was full, the EF was empty.

I agree, best way since the petrol is being filtered as well

phong =P~ I was going to say that, But i figured they'll end up using a garden hose and will end up being dirty again! You could always attach a Z14K fuel filter to it!

It's probably got a bung at the lowest point.

Tanks are designed to be anti-syphon these days.
Removing the return line, and sending fuel to new car with the fuel pump is much nice. |

You could always attach a Z14K fuel filter to it! I was thinking they'd syphon it into a jerry can and then pour it into the other car...not efficient, but does the job. *shrugs* phong =P~

As many of the others have said, use the fuel pump and lines, quicker, cleaner and safer.
Makes a lot of sense to use a high pressure pump that's all plumbed in and ready to go. Either remove the hose from the fuel rail and either lengthen it by joining another to it or remove it from the main fuel pipe and add a suitable length of fuel hose to it. We use a shorter hose and fill an outboard fuel tank, then with the normal o/b hand [bubble] pump to start the siphon for the transfer into the next car. Cheers, Paul

so (as i understand) i attach a hose to the fuel pump or fuel return and fire her up? Might be a problem seeing as i don't have a battery in her right now.
Would drilling a hole in it work? Sounds like the easiest way to go and the car is definitely scrapped anyway.
