    Whats the best way, im scrapping the car but I still have half a tank in the car, I'm pretty sure the sax has anti siphon down the fuel pipe, so all I can think of is cold chisel to the bottom of the tank???

    If tour scrapping it, just put a hole iin the tank...
    Or
    Where the fuel lines are take them off and drain it out form herneath!

    get a piece of hose pipe and a drum or container for petrol . hosepipe in tank and conatiner as low as possible lower then the line of the bottom of the fuel tank. put a vac on the end and create a good seal till petrol comes out soon as it comes out take vac of straight away. or theres the good old fashioned sucking it out till you get petrol to end of hose pipe then stop sucking. osmosis will do the rest. but petrol does not taste nice. never lift the hosepipe up whilst its siphoning out as you will have to repeat the process again

    If you're scrapping it i'm guessing it doesnt have an axle.

    I just dropped the fuel tank, disconnected the hoses. Its not a hard job
