Diesel syphoning - possible?
Discussion
My VW Bora has decided to part ways with it's turbo (in rather dramatic style!) so is off to the scrap heap in the sky, but I've got about 40 litres of Diesel left in it. It's an 02 plate, so not overly new, but not sure if they have anti-syphon devices on them at that age? Anyone know?
Short of that, I guess the next best thing is to disconnect the line at the other end and turn the ignition on to let the pump do it's thing?
Either would be fine, but just want to do it sooner rather than later so it's not £50 sat there when it could be getting me around in my new car!

I had an Octavia which met its end in an ugly crash just after I'd filled it up!
Lift up or remove the rear seat base. Unscrew the crappy covers and you'll find a saucer sized black screw cap. This is the housing for the pump in the tank. Remove it.
Drop your hose in, suck away and point it down hill into a large enough container.
