Here is a sample of a transfer pump: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47664

Check around your local hardware & auto stores for varying types and prices.

Most tool-loan stores have them available.

A better question might becan you siphon the gas out without removing the tank? Don't our cars have a screen to prevent you from doing it through the tube? I am not sure but I think most do now.

I know it's prob a pain, but if your worried enough, I'd drop the tank and drain it all that way.

Can you disconnect the fuel line, run it over to a tank and let the fuel pump do all the work? You'd probably have to trigger the relay somehow...
