If you are planning to use the fuel pump to drain the tank, be aware that if it runs dry, the pump will likely be destroyed!

Just put a long length of fuel hose with a siphon pump from the fuel line to a big enough container on the floor.
I always use the priming bulb from an old outboard motor as a siphon pump........been using the same one for over 30 yrs, works a treat!

No ,didn't bother .got 8 litres out to almost empty just by ign on batt switch on/ off a few times . Found a large black big 2 socket relay behind ECU . Looked at it and put back .
Changed oil and filter .Almost forgot fill engine via cam cover filler .Eng cover is .. off. Very slow via filler at rear + dipstick .
Battery CLP to put back . Stupid place for clamp. Might pass MOT check for brakes and glass analysis . Fresh petrol will help.
