Petrol syphoning?
What's the quickest and easiest way to petrol out of a car...especially if it's dark?

Use a battery drill and drill a hole in the bottom of the tank.
Why you asking?

Thought most cars had something in the filler pipe to stop them being syphoned off?

No that is out of the question.
I have a car with about 1/3 of a tank of petrol that has been stood for over a year so the petrol is gonna be stale.
I need to get it out and poor it down the drain (or take it to the tip, or burn it...not sure what to do with it).

Light a wood fire in your garden. Rake up all the dry fallen leaves. Dump on the petrol a bit at a time. Watch the leaves and your eyebrows go whoosh

To be honest mate I don't know as I did not use the pump after that. Would think that priming it after it went dry would be hard though.
