Default 2004 rx330, draining fuel tank?

Hi, I have a 2004 rx330 and it has been sitting for a long time.

I am trying to get it going again, and I want to put fresh gas in it. What is the easiest way to drain the fuel from the fuel tank? Thank you.

Siphon it out using two tubes. Use one to go into the tank and another shoter tube with you insert into where you put the gas, then blow into causing the old gas to flow out. Worked perfectly on our Mercedes that had bee sitting for several years with nearly a full tank of gas.
