There will probably be a drainage plug in the tank to take out, fuel pipe off to drain it, drill a hole in it, seal up the petrol cap, put a hose down there and blow hard into the hose. Plenty ways tbh.

syphoning can be difficult as cars can have a kind of mesh to stop you from doing this, also its not nice trust me when you accidentaly get some petrol in your mouth, it doesnt taste as good as it smells trust!!! and expect to be burping vapour for hours.
surely if its going to the scrappy you can just hammer something very sharp through the fuel tank?
