That's what I'd do, and did end up doing in the end. | |

if u wanna syphon it out abit easier you can pop the bottom of the rear seats up, ply up the bit plastic cap, then under that is where the fuel pipes enter and come out of the tank via a cap held in with a metal ring, get a hammer and screwdriver and tap the ring round anti-clockwise and once the ring comes free the cap should pull up! then you got easy access to the fuel! you should also be able to buy a manual hand pump syphoner from your local halfords or car accessory shop bud | |

Knock a hole in the tank with a screwdriver and put something underneath to catch it in. | |
