Hi all

Agreed to P/X my car a few days ago, after filling it right up with Satan`s Sputum. (Wasn`t a planned P/X)
Don`t really want to give the garage £90`s worth of diesel tbh.

Is it just a matter of a big jerry can and a hose? Got both of those.
Car is a 2002 S60 D5, just wondering about any anti-syphon measures on this car.

I bet I get a few mouthfuls of Derv and nothing else...

Will have some kind of anti-syphon device. There are ways to get the diesel out if you're determined.

Take the fuel line off the filter or the pump, connect a small inline fuel pump and a battery and pump it dry. Did this with my old V70 before it went off to China as shredded metal.

This, basically. Be prepared to prime the system afterwards if you want to drive it to the garage though.
