Get yourself a 5-6 ft piece of 3/8 fuel line and just shove it down the fill neck until it bottoms out. You may have to twist it some what if it hangs up about halfway in which can happen as there are plastic tubes in the general area of the fuel pump.

Thanks. I'll give it another try! The hose seemed to be hanging up so I will be a little more persistent.

Ok!! I believe I got it.. It appears I got about 8 gallons out. So now the fun begins.. Replacing the fuel pump itself.

Appreciate your advice.
