Is a lot of work compared to pulling a fuse or removing coil lead etc, but would do that too.

Either do as I suggested, or pull fuel pump fuse and crank it for a while.

Yeah could do mate, don't want to do it an easy way by sounds of it so that would be ideal.
You could remove the engine, strip engine and remove pistons, and petrol would drain out, then simply refit.
