"make sure you have a fire extinguisher and some damp large blankets near to hand"
If this goes wrong, a domestic fire extinguisher won't make a jot of differnece to somewhere between 25 and 50 litres of petrol vapour igniting inside the car - quite possibly with you in there too siphoning it off.
I've known of three people in my locality suffer severe burns from accidental petrol fires - and all those were caused with only a litre or two of fuel spilt refilling lawnmowers or starting bonfires.
Honestly, you'd be better off spending your energy on trying to get as good a scrap or resale price as you can for the cars. For the Zafira, so long as you notify the DVLA correctly of the change of ownership, surely that ends the OP responsibility for the car?
Dave, if the insurnace company are writing off the Vectra, then doesn't the wreck - and technically the fuel in it - belong to them, not you? Otherwise put, dealing with it is their problem, not yours :-)
