I have decided to scrap my 306 diesel P reg but it has £40 of fuel in
it. I've been told it has an anti-syphon system. I still need to
drive
it to the scrap yard. Any ideas how I get it out?

When u get to scrap yard pull one of the pipe off from under the car
and you should be able to get your fuel that way.or ask them at the
yard if they could do it for you,

Cut fuel line, drain then rejoin it with a bit of rubber hose.

It turned out to be relatively easy. I bought a syphon and pumped it
out of the filler tube. There was no anti-syphon device.
