The DIY technique with the garden hose is the easiest - I did it once for someone
who run out of gas in the front of my college appartment...pretty simple really..
I am sure you can even find some kind of pump at a DIY store to avoid sucking,
but even that is not that bad...try it !!

There is a trick with a garden hose.. You have to put it in and suck really hard. Then put it in a bucket wich contains a little bit of diesel and it should run by itself.. I've seen it once with water and it worked.. That would be the cheapest way and the riskiest since you can get diesel in your mouth.. blaaahh..
A better system when there is enough fuel in the tank is to push the hose all the way in, plug the upper end with your thumb, and pull it back enough so the plugged end is lower than the bottom of the fuel tank. If the other end is on the bottom of the tank, it should all drain when the thumb is released.
This would likely work better with a smaller tube than a garden hose, but would take a lot longer to drain.

Actually, I prefer diesel. The fumes of petrol hit you a lot harder IMO. (I'm in trucking, I know) (or maybe all these years of diesel sucking have made me an addict.)

its fixed. One of my good friends owns a garage and he did it. There seems to be two fuel tanks and the one on the left has to fuel pipes. Just take them off and all the petrol came out. Its working fine now.
