Best way to drain the fuel tank?

I need to drain all the fuel out from the tank in my 2001 Boxster S racing car - The fuel level sender is broken and there is some small parts from it at the bottom of the tank that I need to get out

Just wondered what was the easiest way to drain all the fuel out from the tank?

Should I just purchase a hand pump and get to the fuel via the opening under the battery, or is there some good way to do this by using the fuel pump already in the tank?
