The best way is to take it out relatively easy in an aluminium boat but problematic in a glass boat

Fuel stabilizer will not rejuvenate fuel it has to be put in at the beginning for it to do what it's meant to do .

Gday Sandef about 2 months ago I pumped out 120L from my old tank prior to project work, First I tried a jiggler gravity issues were a problem got a hand pump Siphon from autopro (autobarn) used is by disconnecting the flexible fuel feeder anf put the drain hose through my bung siphoned with gravity whilst pumping along the way. Took about an hour hand pumping took about an hour.
