im sure 150 quid is cheaper than dropping your car onto the axle stand and knackering the fuel tank, then requiring recovery to a garage!

Jesus Christ thats a spill and a half! Green Peace will drop a bollock.
BTW You can weld your petrol tank up, just spray carbon dioxide down your filler pipe first

Get a bucket, fill with fuel, put fuel pump in, drive away.
N.B - This may not work.

A decent jack doesn't have to cost that much either, I have got a sealey three ton trolley jack which is huge and cost me £80 brand new, that sort of money is nothing for your safety.
