I put a hole in the tank, was shit as it doesn't just come out neatly it kinda sprays, was probably catching like a third of what was coming out. If you are scrapping it, it's not hard to get the tank off, then you can just pour it straight into a container or whatever, so easy

take the fuel line off at the fuel rail, pop a hose on it and drain into a container
find the fuel pump relay
with a fused wire, bridge the 12v perment live (red) and the fuel pump feed (red/blue)

As above WTF is the point of pissing about when you are scrapping it anyway?
Hole + washing up bowl = win.
Didnt you just fit a new tank?

Cant you syphon it? if not just drill a hole in the bottom of it. make sure you seal it up though and brim it with water, get more money then when you weigh it in

Correct
If you want to be really sneaky the trick of the trade is to saturate the seats and carpet with water.. But if you get caught you wont be taking cars there again

They arent doing their job properly then, as you have to drain everything before you go through the gates. Didn't they even check it before weighing it??
