No nor does the MK3, Why do you want to syphon it and what length of pipe are you using The angle the filler pipe goes dends to mage the syphone pipe stick up into the air rather than down into the petrol. Regards Peter

thanks,

I pur diesel in my tanks and am having difficulty siphoning it.

your comments make sense. I was using a 1.75m long jiggle siphon, but gave up and got a garage to drain the tank for me as it's a very tricky and dirty job.

i though they had something in the filller neck...i couldnt siphon mine

if you lift the boot carpet, theres a round plate held on with 3 screws , pull that and its easy access to the tank...dunk your pipe in there
