I have been informed by another forum member that my assumption about that little protrusion at the bottom of the tank is wrong. It is in fact a small sump to catch dirt and water - it is not the reserve.
Thinking about it, it couldn't possibly be the reserve because it's wouldn't be big enough.
It does however still allow you to drain the dregs out of the tank without removing the tank.
I'm glad Stuart provided some more suggestions about turning the engine manually, changing oil etc before trying to fire it up!
