Just park it in Liverpool 8, it will be empty when you return and you can claim on the insurance for the burn out
You can either use the supply line to the rail at back of engine and rig a connection from that, you would need to depressurise the system first though. Or access the fuel return line under the car and drain it from that no need to depressurise.
I've got a pit, so accessing it from under the car is probably going to be easier than taking half the engine out again to get to the fuel supply line.
Where does the fuel return enter the tank? And is that where I should access it from? Also, how do I tell the difference between the fuel supply and the fuel return?
Is there an anti siphon device?
Download RAVE and look all will be revealed.
I'm afraid I've not been able to find anything useful in RAVE yet on this subject - which is why I'm on here!
Look at V8 fuel system. Adjustments page 1.

Very true as petrol fumes are heavier than air, they will drop to the bottom of the pit.
Do you have a inspection hatch / hole / cover in the rear floor to get to the top of the tank / float / pump ?
Wammers .... is there a non - pit access panel for the fuel ?
No hatch if that's what you mean. Only as i described earlier remove return pipe and drain it that way. You don't need to be over a pit for that operation. Playing with petrol over a pit is not good practice. Have seen a few flame ups over the years.
Cheers. I've found it in RAVE. I'll have a play during my smoking break at the weekend!
If you never hear from me again you'll know it didn't go well!Seriously though, your cautions have been noted.

Remember if you have a smoke break, do it before getting fuel on your hands ...

There is no return line, its a 2000 car Thor V8. Yes the connector to the fuel rail can be used. Depressure first or the connector is normally difficult to disconnect. Many people destroy that connector by not removing it properly. This can render the fuel feed hose usless.

Ohh no, the secret one
Yes its top secret if I told you I may have to remove the battery in your fob!
Yes, so secret that your phone won't ring! I've tried the number you gave a few times and it immediately 'hangs up'....
I've PM'd you with my number to see if you have any success in ringing me.....
