Disconnect fuel line under the car, turn power on and let the car pump it out for you. Or knock a hole in the tank |

You can even do it under the hood. |

What you are running into is the anti rollover valve that prevents the gas from draining out if the vehicle rolls over.

Pull out the rear seat cushion. The access cover to the gas tank (for replacing the fuel pump) is on the driver's side.
What died on the car? They're usually pretty cheap and easy to fix. Even if the ECU died, good working spares are usually about 50 bucks these days. They mount behind the glove box. CJ |

CJ Well, I kinda crashed it last November and had been planning on driving it around with a caved in front until I finished the academy and got a job... but it didn't last that long. 
Pretty sure the engine seized up, I never had anybody look at it because it wasn't worth the cost to fix to me to continue driving a 19 year old piece of shit around. I was down to one door handle and no hubcabs (off road adventures when I was younger... lol), and then I rear ended a guy with a Reese hitch on his Ram crew cab. It started making a clanking noise and I HAD to drive it to work one day (had no other option) so I said fuck it and took the risk, and it blew on the way home. Won't even atttempt to crank, it just clicks once. Battery works fine and is about a year old. We checked that first but the car was just a wretched clusterfuck. |

Well, I tried what cmjohnson said and I got access to the tank but siphoning this stuff out is a BITCH! The little hand pump/siphon hose I bought sucks ass, as expected.
I'm going to try a bigger piece of clear hose so I know when to stop sucking the gas out of the tank and thus don't inadvertently drink it, unless there is a better option. |

I bought a hand pump siphon at Home Depot. Comes in handy when I have to replace fuel pumps.
