If this is the one you are breaking, just cut through the rubber pipe under the n/s chassis rail and remove the fuel filler cap.

EDIT: If you have one fo those electric tyre pumps you can wrap some rag around the valve and wedge it in the filler neck which will help force the fuel out

[meooo]

If the tanks not needed by anyone, do what the thieving scub-bags do and take a cordless dril to the thing

just remove the tank and pull the fuel lines off the bottom on the chassis rail to play safe if you dont take the filler cap of the air pressure wont let the fuel go.

dont want you blowing self up with a drill lol now do we

hammer and screwdriver thats wot i do to my scrappers when i get them just pierce the tank underneath just like what he said with the drill or unscrew the jubilee clip on the inside wheel arch to pull the neck down and then stick yr syphon tube in it just have yrs cans at the ready

There is an anti siphoning device in the neck of the tank so the only way is either to remove the tank or Drill a hole in the bottom or use the electric pump in the tank to pump it out. To do this if the engine doesn't run means you would have to put power to the pump via the wire's underneath. then disconnect from the fuel filter and place pipe into a receptacle to catch the fuel.
