well there is a sender unit in the tank, use that to your advantage give it 12v and hook to a pipe in front.
Or, under the seat you can remove the sender unit and then have a big nice round hole straight into it.

In fact, if you disconnect the feed to the fuel filter under the bonnet, attach a longer hose to it, you may be able to siphon it out there, starting it off with the bulb - not sure if it would have enough 'suction' on it to draw from the tank and through the non return valve in the bulb.

I was able to siphon mine with a long pipe. It has to go through a flap at the bottom of the filler pipe so it's a pain to do but still possible. It's best to do with the car raised or on a kerb so the container is as far below it as possible.
If you can slide a thinner pipe down inside a bigger pipe it helps.
And if you have a compressor stick a 2nd a short pipe in the filler, block the hole with a damp towel and blow compressed air in. Diesel doesn't taste good.
