.     Any ideas how to siphon the diesel out cant let it go with over half a tank.

I used a Pela oil extractor to empty the tank on my Astra before I scrapped it. Removed the feed to the filter form the tank, shoved the suction pipe down the fuel pipe, taped it up to help make a air/vacuum seal & sucked it out. In the absence of a pump you could syphon from the same point

Box it in and leave it running for about ten hours, aircon on of course

That would probably use about 5L.....

air con don't work so would only be about 2 but wifey has a diesel citroen and half a tank in the mig would last her 6 months, mouth full of diesel time .
