Thank you everyone for the responses and advice!

I ordered some 5 gallon cans and I’m going to go with @TollKeeper suggestion, jumping the fuel pump relay to let the pump do the work.

I removed the filler tube and stuck a short length of garden hose in and siphoned all the gas into 5 gallon cans and then into my other vehicles. The tank only weighs about 20 lbs empty so a simple floor jack with a small piece of plywood on it to distribute the weight works great.
