I saw my father do that once--nasty. Spitting gas out. I have a hose that self pumps, you just need to get it started

Lol! You just gotta loop the hose below your mouth. Once you get it to the bottom of the loop, you can stop. Put your thumb on the end like a straw and put it into your can ...

Here's the part, it's missing the hose. I needed that for the trans flush fiasco. Has a marble in it. I guess that's how you get the suction going.

@Tonyrodz how does that fitting work? I see no suction device....and yes I know the pump says don't use for flammable liquids but show me a pump that says it's OK unless it's an actual fuel pump. I never got good at siphoning even when I was a kid, I always get some in my mouth but usually just a few drops. I did loop the hose down @HiHoeSilver ..I think lol. I was getting kinda buzzed by then. 
Anyway I got the tank out. The fittings for the vapor canister and fuel lines at the tank were the hardest part to get off. I did break one of the tank strap nut holder things whatever they're called just like you said Nate but other than that I'm OK. I had no rust other than a tiny bit on the lock ring. The tank looks clean inside, only thing was I did find a piece of black plastic that I can't figure where it came from. The pump and new lock ring will be here tomorrow so that's all for today.

I threw the paper away, but you put one end of the hose in the liquid and you need to shake the end with the marble back and forth until you have some suction going. I've never used it personally, but they guy who gave it to me swears it works. Idk.@Tonyrodz how does that fitting work?
