Syphoning Diesel from my 07 Megane

[dog-man]

I have finally decided to get rid of my 57 Megane 1.5 DCI Dynamique Estate.

Whilst it is incredibly economical, I have always found it very uncomfortable to drive.

The pedals seem to be in the wrong place for me and after around 18 months of ownership, I still have yet to find a comfortable driving position.

It is a really weird car in that respect.

So tomorrow it is being traded in against a Land Rover Freelander 2ltr Diesel.

Poorer economy I know, but a far more comfortable seating position for me.

My problem is that I have almost a full tank of diesel in the Megane and have just tried to syphon it out so it can go in the new car.

The hose seems to go a long way but apart from fumes, I got nothing. Would I be correct in thinking there is some sort of anti theft device bulit in, stopping me syphoning it out?

Is there any way to remove the diesel?

Under the back seats there is a fuel gauge unit. Take it out and syphoon from there.

you can always pipe into the tank from the flap and suck it out that way

you, cant do that, the pipe will be sent down a different route, its an anti-theft feature..
