Fuel tank draining

I dread a fuel pump failure in my wife's 2006 XK8 (built in May 2005 so the car will turn nine years old next month). There are numerous tales of failed fuel pumps here on the forum after XK8s/XKRs have sat around untouched for extended periods of time. As a precaution, we have a "three day rule" in place on this car. That means it can sit for no longer than three days without being driven. I hope this rule will greatly extend the life of her XK8's fuel pump....

I used a pump like this one DuraHeat Battery-Powered Siphon Pump-DH-20 at The Home Depot . I removed the sub woofer and stuck it down in the tank opening (from a post on these forums) and pumped out about 7 gallons. Nice easy clean. I have large hands and couldn't do the tank remove to change pumps. So I had to find an alternative.
