You can purchase a hand held pump from oreilly(or any other parts store). Put one end of the hose in tank and other into fuel jug . The fuel jug must b lower than the tank in order to work properly

i would disconnect the line at the fuel rail, run a hose somehow from that to a gas container, go to the fusebox, and jumper the fuel pump fuse to straight battery power, and let er drain..have done this many times.
