Use a siphon pump.

Is there a screen in the filler tank? If thats even the way to do it?

not sure about the years of the screen. you could probably pop off the hose clamp on the tank to the filler neck and pump away...

or if your changing your tired pump (if it still works) you could take off the fuel filter and run a tube from the line to a fuel can and jump the pump wires with a 12v source like a battery or run the KOEF a few hundred times.

the wiring harness under the back seat goes like this

purple__fuel level +

I couldnt siphon mine so i just unhooked my fuel line under the hood and hooked a water hose to it. Then just turned the key off and on (primeing it) til it was empty.

Didnt take TO Long.......

that is one way to do it i suppose. i suppose that leaves a better aftertaste than gasoline.
