George, I am after a way that does not give me a one in five chance of
developing mouth cancer some time in the next 10 years.
is there any device I can use?

the super cheap auto syphon does not work and wont fit down the tank.

You could take ya passenger back wheel off and remove ya fuel pump and drain
out but cannot see why most EA's use unleaded so let it pass thru ya
system, unless some thing else is in your fuel maybe a lockable cap is also
on the winds

put hose in tank,wrap a rag around it and blow really hard.it will
pressurize tank and when you stop blowing will push fuel back out hose,
remove rag and it will start syphoning.
easy a.
