How to drain gas??? 2006 E55

Hi,
I’m trying to drain bad gas out of my car, the car has been sitting for almost two years, it runs but there’s water in the gas for sure, tried to drain through the fuel rail service port by removing the schrader valve, connecting a hose, then trying to jump the fuel pump relay, (2006 has three relays on right side)then Just turning it on, but isn’t working. Think I need an actual fuel pressure test gauge hose to let it build pressure??? Any tips???

thinking of just driving to the gas station and adding 5 gallons of fresh added some sea foam….

Remove the rear seats and siphon it directly out of both parts of the gastank. Buy 2 new seals just in case

Thanks,
I bought a hand siphon pump at harbor freight to try that, but tried just hooking it up to the fuel pressure test port and siphoned from there, just wonder if this method emptied both sides. Nice dark brown gas.

With the ethanol being added, the shelf life is even shorter (3 months if I recall correctly)
