Any tips? Im sure these cars have anti-siphon strainers in them, so im assuming i will have to drain it from a fuel rail, or disconect the fuel filter under the car and see if the fuel pump runs continuously?
I'd go with plumbing the filter output ( or fuel rail ) to a large catch can and running the fuel pump from a extra battery, or a 12v lead from the car battery ( through a 15 amp fuse in either case ).

MAKE SURE THESE ARE SOLID CONNECTIONS BEFORE STARTING ANY FUEL FLOW !!!!!!!!!!!

Here in the States, one CIA wasn't enough either, so we invented Homeland Security.
