Syphoning Diesel
Bush Tucker Man:
No I'm not about to go out &raid the vehicles around here, or even the Ambulances :roll:
But, as 'S50 RAT' has between 12 & 15gallons in its tank, I want to remove it before it goes in PX (possibly) at the weekend. Might as well pour it into it in the Mondeo.
There's no anti-syphonic traps in the supply line between the filler & tank are there?
Temporary storage;
Going to beg/steal/borrow a few large (25litre+) vegetable oil containers from the kitchens at the Hospital, as they're a heavy grade plastic & are leak-proof
muddyweb:
ah, stuff the expense...
Leave the fuel in there and just take it out for a final blast 8)
Thrasher:
What about just driving it around for the next few days......and making sure your next vehicle either
1. Doesn't use diesel (smelly icky noisy stuff)
2. Comes with a full tank of go-go juice.
Problem solved.
I mean.....how "yorkshireman-like" is wanting to syphon the fuel in your car out?!?!

Pop the pipe feeding into the fuel filter and leave the ignition on the electric pump will do it for you
You could raise the back of the motor to aid the syphoning, but they can be a pain to get the pipe in
Or look in the floor in the back, pop the screws off the sender unit in the top of the tank and syphon from there
