Removing fuel from the tank

you could always tip it on its side and stick your fingers down the filler hole to release the flap....:emoticon_U: alternatively you could remove the pump access cover and using the sucking method and a hose pipe de-camp it to a jerry can for future usage... As a last resort you could use the fuel to set fire to the vehicle after you have stripped it of its goodies....pre-insurance claim time....:lightbulb: cheers jod

they use a pick axe in my local scrap yard

You could try this: Get a tyre pump connector and attach it to a length of pipe so you can direct the fuel into a can or the other car, then connect this to the tyre type valve on the end of the fuel rail. Run a direct fused and switched lead from the battery to the fuel pump, pull off the existing fuel pump wiring and connect the new feed. Switch on and let the fuel pump pump the fuel into the can or the other car. I sometimes use a variation of this method to fill the petrol can for my lawn mower.
