nobody's ever syphoned a tank??? get a hose...
stick the hose all the way into the tank but long enough to hang out and still reach the ground. suck to start the gas flowing (move quick before you get a face full of gas) then keep the container lower then the tank and it will all drain up and out of there.

Undo the hose to the filter, turn car to "on" position....
it'll start the pump and begin draining the tank. How I found out? Well, literally by accident! That's the "sand" thrown down by the fire department after I had an incident with a collapsing Audi jack puncturing the gas filter and brake line. I stupidly put the key to the on position, turning on the fuel pump.

You boys got alot to learn. lol
Unplug the fuel return line comming off the fuel rail (Top Line). Get yourself a 3'long piece of 5/16" ID fuel hose. Plug one end onto the fuel rail, stick the other end into your 5gal gas can. Start you motor and watch all you fuel pump right into your gas can.
Fill up on race gas and just switch over to race program.
