Pierce the tank,drain it then stick some gaffer tape over the hole.
Or just tell them when you trade it in its got a full tank so youd like the new car filling up the same.Thats what my mate did once,didnt tell the garage it had a sticky gauge,only had half a tank lol.

Hose pipe down and syphon it out, if cant do that, take pump out from under the seat and syphon that way.

That's worrying - most of us only think we don't like the taste of diesel. :lol:

I had a response involving bus shelters in mind, but I've noticed a lot of space under DiscoPol's signature. :supafrisk:

I know for a fact that you can't syphon a 206 (my neighbour had one written off and we couldn't syphon it) think there's a plate at the bottom of the filler neck.
