I wonder if anyone can tell me how to remove the fuel from the tank of an 07 Astra Design Estate. I have a 5 gallon container and a hose. In the old days it was simply a matter of siphoning the fuel using a tube but these newer cars have anti siphoning baffles in the filling pipe so how do I do it. The reason for this is that I filled the car up the other day in preparation for a trip and on Tuesday the cooling system sprang a leak. The dealer took it in yesterday and diagnosed a head gasket failure. This coupled with new front discs required and a couple of other things has brought the estimate for repair to over 2000.00. Decided to trade it in against a new car so I want to transfer the fuel to our other car. Thanks in advance!
