Got the majority of the fuel out with the above method. No dramas, and no children or animals were injured during the performance. Made sure all four doors and boot were wide open for added ventilation and the battery disconnected beforehand.
Just over 5 gallons in all. Fuel gauge is in the red, fuel warning light intermittently on, and the fuel computer says there is only 25 miles range left.
Job done.
