Emptying the fuel tank ?

Can anyone suggest how to empty the scorpio fuel tank (saloon) without removing it or damaging it ?
I have been led to believe that there is an anti syphon thingy in the filler pipe.
If any reply's are security sensitive please pm me with any solutions.

unplug the fuel pipe connector below the inlet manifold, connect a bit of hose to it and it will pump itself dry with the ignition on

LOL at Stuart.
Done most of it now by hose pipe and the old trusty suck and spit method.
Just wish I'd remembered to put the ciggy out first. 
And to update, there is no anti syphon thingy on the Scorp.
