So my car is shagged and needs scrapping or selling for spares/repairs (cba to fork out and replace the engine - timing belt snapped). It's a 2003 V70 D5 SE.
I only filled the tank a couple of days before so there's about 60+ litres of diesel in it.
I've been trying to google how to do this but I'm still stuck. There's videos of attaching a hose to the fuel feed and blocking the return hose, but I am not 100% sure where these are. Then removing the batteries negative terminal and then sticking a paperclip in the fuse relay to join the requisite terminals (I'm fine with this bit).
Also see one where you can access the fuel tank under the back seat, but I can't get the round locking thing off. The guy in the video used a hammer and chisel to remove it but mines resolutely refusing to budge.
In desperation I just shoved the hose down the fuel cap, and gave it a good suck
) fuel came up, but when I put the hose into the container it started returning back into the tank. Is there some kind of anti syphoning device in the car?
Please help before I just stab a hole in the bottom of the tank (providing I can find it, there's an undertrtay I think) and inadvertantly set myself on fire.
