My 02 1.9tdi goes away tomorrow to be replace with a brand new one. Yippee! Well, almost. Unfortunately I only found out on Monday it was going tomorrow so it's got 3/4 tank of diesel in it. :(

I've got a couple of clean empty barrels off the local farmer and a syphon but I suspect there'll be some device to prevent me just wanging a hose in and draining my precious fuel out. Anyone know the easiest way to (nearly) empty my tank out?

Turns out it is just as simple as shoving a pipe in and sucking. Diesel tastes horrid. Still, at least the lease company only get a gallon. :)
