Could someone enlighten a non technical person about what fittings i can
get, that will enable a plastic garden water tank to be drained by
connecting it (securely and non-leaking) to a 20 metre length of standard
(1/2") garden hose please.

Open the top, stick in hosepipe until it hits the bottom, pull up a little
bit, place end of hosepipe lower than the base of your tank, shove hosepipe
in your mouth and suck.
Spit out shit and drain.
Dead easy.

Easier still... place all of the pipe into the tank hanging on to both
ends below the surface. When the bubbles stop, stopper the pipe ends
with your thumbs. Draw out the discharge end and remove your thumbs when
it is lower than that inside.....
