Dissconect fuel flow line and put it into a large Jerry can.

Unbolt tank.

They are very light when empty.

Take it that its a mechanical pump if its a 1.3??

If you block the vent pipe and leave the filler cap in, try to pressureise the tank via the return pipe. This will puch fuel out the flow pipe.

Perhaps a length of pipe onto the return and a air line with very low pressure.

Stick it down the end of the garden and throw a molotov cocktail at it.

I am thinking of doing that to my whole car.
