If the pump works, draining it at the rail is still easiest/safest. No siphon, no removal of filter or anything. Just hit the key, or jump it. All the fuel will pump out. I do it all the time.

Already got it all out, thanks!
To add to the "clever garage tips" theme, i recently needed to take my coil springs out and had the hardest time. Well i came up with a clever way.
1. Lift the front end with a jack as high as possible.
2. Position two jack stands under one side of the car, in such a way that they are each on a different side of the axel.
3. Put a HD piece of steel through the coil spring and let it rest on each jack.
4. Lower the jeep and let the coil compress under weight.
5. With a hammer, hit it off the mount so when it re expands it doesn't re sit on the mount and it expands wildly onto the floor.
Keep this going!
