Need to remove fuel from gas tank. HELP HELP

Car has sat for about six months.

Is there a way to make fuel pump run full time till gas is pumped out?

Its impossible for me to get my fat azz under the car to stick a hose in the tank... no jack to lift the car higher.

The "fsm" only give to ways to do this.
1) use fuel pump
2) use a hose

Could just pull the fuel pump but i dont won't to go that route just yet.

If you don't mind it going slow use a 3/4" Diameter tube or so and stuff it down the fill hole, and syphon out the gas.

Unfortunately there are two tanks to empty.
Pull up the back seat. There are two access panels under there. You need to empty both tanks, doing one won't suffice.

Buy a boat bilge pump, one of the hand powered ones. They are red/white/clear. Open up the tanks then pump it by hand. It doesn't take long. Just did it.
