Undo fuel "in" pipe from the engine, get a bucket and a bit of garden hose.

Attach a the hose to the fuel line and run it to the bucket.

Now lift the rear bench and access the fuel pump wiring. Find the live for the pump, splice into it and run the wire to the battery.

The fuel will pump itself out.

Easiest way is to spin the metal ring around on the tank itself under rear seats and then get accessed there and suck it out with a pipe.
