how to siphon petrol from a volvo v40 please????

[Vivkins3]

We have a Volvo V40 and are about to trade it in for a different car.

We have about half a tank of petrol left (grrrrr) and naturally we'd like to take it out.

Hubby has tried a couple of different petrol siphons but to no avail. There seems to be some sort of anti-siphoning device fitted.

Can anybody offer any anti-anti-siphoning suggestyions please?

forgive my ignorance, but how can you tell it's a closed question?

You still haven't told us the cost to change-so is a �10000 in which case why are you worrying about �35 or is it �1000 in which case why are bothering to change as you will lose the dealers margin the instant you take possesion of it. Frankly if that amount of money is so important to you I wonder if you should own a car. To run a car safely costs money -tyres, insurance, brakes- I hope you aren't skimping on them for the sake of other motorists

[Myriad2112]
