siphon tank
 
Go to hardware store.
Get 1.5m 3/4" hosepipe. The flimsy stanbdard 1/2" does not work too nice.
Go to booze store.
Get cold sixpack of preferred brew.
Go home.
Open tank lid.
Put hosepipe into tank and push in as far to the bottom as it will go.
Get jerrycan ready.
Kneel down holding end of hosepipe low and suck air out (not with full lungs, only mouth!)
When fuel comes quickly stick hosepipe into jerrycan.

Spit out fuel and flush with cold beer. On the first few attempts you will always end up with fuel in your mouth but it gets better with time :-)

Obviously no open fire or fags nearby if you want to live.
