Need to get fuel out of my TD5 90...

Due to the fact that I can't buy any derv, and I am supposed to be driving to the Isle of Arran tomorrow night in my D3, I need to get the fuel out of my Defender which is full, into my jerry cans.

I am not about to start sucking on a bit of old hose pipe if there is an easier way using the fuel pump?

Save yourself the hassle of syphoning DERV, take the Defender instead

Not an option I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, 90's are not endowed with enough room for 4 adults, 1 dog, bags, and 2 bikes, 2 lots of fishing gear and 1 set of golf clubs. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

Forgive me for asking the silly question......why can't you buy any Diesel ?. Richard

Either a 90, 110 or 130.

Disconnect one of the pipes on the fuel pressure regulator, or filter head. But not nice jobs.

What about opening water drain in bottom of filter, bucket underneath, and get the pump to do the prime proceedure

take the drain out of the fuel filter and run it in prime mode, that'll empty the tank fast enough
