    Just undo the big slotted bolts under the tanks and let it pour out. The best
    tool for this is the outside curve of a spanner/wrench. This is of course
    assuming that you are talking about a Series Landrover fuel tank.
    Then...........use the match to get the dregs!!

    DISCLAIMER. Any and all explosions caused and deformation of Land Rovers or
    their accessories, fuel tanks, seats or owners as a direct result of the use
    of a match to "purge" the system has nothing to do with me.etc etc etc etc.
