My Focus had one that sat neatly on the inside of the boot and I used it a few times to add STP diesel cleaner.

You can’t simply add petrol without having a funnel to open the inner flap.

I guess it’s another Ford money saving exercise - or am I missing mine - somewhere hidden away?

Or is it not needed for petrol vehicles?
If you stick this in the filler neck, can the tank be syphoned with a pipe pushed through the funnel?

Yes you can, but, it's not as simple case of just stuffing a single tube down to the tank. There are a couple more stages to the system that catches anything going in. So, you have to know what you are doing and it's not a fast job that a criminal would hang about and do.
These days the crims just spike the fuel tank under the car and get the fuel out quick.
