Any bright ideas as to how I can drain a full fuel tank, prior to removing and welding up the back end (leaving the fuel tank intact to re-install after the work)
Any other practical ideas?

Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
What's wrong with the syphon/pump idea?
last time i tried removing the sender, it was, shall we say, unsuccessful
.I was hoping i could drain it via the sedimenter?

I've drained it by removing the plastic sedimenter plug and letting the derv out into a bucket, took days with a full tank, remember to check the bucket occasionally. Might be quicker taking the sed right off?

Did mine with a pump siphon from Halfords, had to extend the pipe a bit, worked ok though.
The tank still had 10 lit in when I dropped it, made handling a pain but doable solo.
Its raving tight and easy to damage the filler neck.
I think JLR discovered the tank could be removed from underneath by accident, prob installed from the top before the body was put on!

I drained mine by thrashing the motor hard for about 30 mins.........
