Default Draining fuel S60 Fuel tank

Could anyone advise me the best way to drain my S60 fuel tank please?
I tried a syphon it but somehow the long tube I used didn't seem to reach the fuel?
Thanks in advance.

Can you just drive the car until it gets low?

If not, you could always see if there is an access hole to get to the tank from above like the S70 and 850 had. Then you can remove the fuel pump and syphon the fuel from there.

Without some good tools it will be difficult, but it is possible through the filler neck.

Well yes I could, but thats no very cost effective when it needs to be done now, and the large tank is full, with the cost of fuel these days, I did not consider it an option.
Thanks for the reply anyway.
Regards,Mike.
