syphon fuel

[herby0001]

If you've bought a new car, then I guess £70 isn't really that much to lose, considering the thousands you're already happy to lose in terms of the depreciation.

I just picked a syphon pump of eBay and 2 x 25ltr jerry cans

Alternatively lift the rear seat out, remove the cover and pump out from there.

Won't that cost more than the fuel???

I would just leave it

[gtime]

Cost £12 so no, plus the dealer wasn't prepared to give me a full tank so why should they benefit from me.

Seems like a lot of stress time and hassle over some liquid dinosaur to me

[gtime]

If the dealer had been a bit nicer and willing to provide me with what I'd asked for then obviously I would have left it. But was out of principle really

But yeh was a bit of a pain, and not something I will do again to be honest

just don't brake anything that would cost £58 to fix otherwise your point (whatever it is) will be totally lost

Depends on the car

If I disconnect my fuel line and turn the ignition to on (don't need to start) things will get very wet and very dangerous pretty quickly

Yes it depends on the car a petrol car will a diesel won't, but we can't see your car spec. But will only run the pump for a couple of seconds not enough to drain the tank.

been a while since I tinkered with a diesel - I remember the old ones would make a big mess when you forgot to connect something critical up - I guess there is a non return valve or something these days to stop air getting into the system - makes sense I guess
