The manual talks about some emergency fuel reserve but seems light on details. Maybe another 2l?

The reserve will be when the light comes on, theres not an extra tank or another tank in the fuel tank.

I'd be more worried about someone puncturing the plastic fuel tanks these days than trying to get fuel out the filler

Sorry but if you wanted an easy target look at proton's and some older mitsubishi's.... they came with drain bolts in the fuel tank you could get to just by kneeling down at the back :blink:

Never had a problem with easy fuel I have a 64 plate focus 1.6 navigator,berfore that a focus 1.6 zetec on an 11 plate bought that new it had easy fuel never a problem. :)

If you do not own a fiesta then you would not know it was an easy fuel system.Like how many other cars are easy fuel that we don't know about because we don't own them.So a would be thief would not know either.Thats my thought anyway.

Not sure that will be correct, although true in theory. I'll say my first car, the door was easy to bend back and pinch the head unit if you knew about it. If you're into that sort of stuff you'll also know about it, weather you've owned the vehicle or not.

I'd agree, my FIL also knows all about the easy fill up system as it was on one of his airport rental jobbies, he was telling me all about it before I even bought the car prior to this one I have now
