Someone in the process definitely blags it.

It goes in the tanks of the blokes at the recovery yard, saw it going on when I went to collect a car of mine which had been stolen. They do have to drain all fluids tbf.

That's a good point. What happens to all that perfectly good fuel when cars get written off?
I used to repossess abandoned and untaxed vehicles for Lewisham council when I were a littlun. The chap who ran the (independent) scrapping yard was well set for fuel when the tanker Dr ver protests happened, let's put it like that. I don't think he was legally allowed to resell it though, I think a special license is required for that.
I assume most of the diesel he recovered just fed his mini fleet of tow trucks and cranes.

The people that store the cars take it for their cars.

When our Mazda3 got T-boned we were on our way to see my OH's nonna on the Sunshine Coast, I'd filled up at Costco the night before... $70 down the toilet, this pissed me off almost as much as losing the car...
