To drain mine, I always use the same as what you have. 1/4" tubing and run it to a gas can. Make sure the gas can is lower than the bottom of the gas tank. I use a turkey baster (primitive, but it works) to get the flow started.

What can happen is if you push the tubing too far into the tank, it hits the bottom and curls up so the end of the tubing is out of the gas. In that case, what I do is tape the end of the tubing to a telescoping magnet tool (even a stick would work). That keeps the end of the tubing on the bottom of the tank.
