You may have to do an initial syphon with your mouth to get it started! (not pleasant

If you remove the fuel pump you'll see the inside of the tank like this:

depends on how much is in the tank, another idea is to bridge the fuel pump and use it to pump the fuel out until the tanks almost empty, then syphon the rest. Using the fuel pump would be alot quicker to start if the tanks say half full.
