Cleaning water tank - extracting last bit of water?

Hi Bongos, seeking your experience again! :)

I want to clean out my onboard water tank but am wondering how to get the last bit of water left at the bottom of container. The tap will only suck up the water until a certain level and I can't get enough leverage to scoop out the rest with a cup. Any ideas?? Past sucking it up with a tube, as in with my mouth, I'm out of ideas. Anyone have a better idea??

Thanks,
Steve

Syphon it out with a bit of tubing or use a wet and dry Hoover
Might have to fill it up again to get syphon going if you are going to siphon it

Ah, both ideas my Dad suggested. Cheers Gasy. I'll opt for small syphon as not sure I can fit the wet hoover in bongo :)

Tape a length of garden hose onto the end of your wet hoover
As you will have to fill and empty it a few times for a good clean
Easy if you not used to starting a hose to siphon
