How to siphon gas from a 2002 Pontiac grand am se? Sign In

The fuel pump went out and the car has a full tank of gas. I've tried sticking a hose down in there but there seems to be an anti-siphoning device in the tunnel to the gas tank. Is there anyway around this? GM doesn't put a plug on their gas tanks. There's no way I can replace this fuel pump unless I get that gas out. Any suggestions? Special Tools? Dealership wants $550 to replace it. I want to do it myself.

I don't think that there's an anti-siphon device in there by GM but rather baffles to control sloshing of fuel. Your hose is probably just getting wound up and not reaching the fuel. You may need to get some stiffer plastic/fuel friendly hose to get around an obsticle to get most of the fuel out or get to a line that may be able to drain it low enough to handle,

May want to look into removing the filler neck from the car and siphoning the gas from the big hole left there.
