I already have RAVE - this is what is says:
1) Page 549 / Adjustments 19-2-3 - drain tank using a 'fuel recovery appliance'
2) Page 571 / Repairs 19-2-25 - removing tank
That says lower the tank before trying to disconnect any wires or hoses.

Consider getting a vacuum.pump. they can also be used to drain oil and other fluids. There are copies of the sealey one available (and likely better lol) for around 25 quid. Most motor.factors sell a siphon hose though for.around a tenner with jiggle valve. That's if you dont fancy the old school.method above.
They mention lowering the tank before un plugging, I imagine to make easier to access them. As I said I haven't done it, so cannot say for sure.
As far as releasing the clips, I would try using a pair pliers, grips or forcing a socket onto it. Failing that, I would cut it off and replace the hose (which i assume you'll be doing)
