Lowes and Home Depot or any major hardware store should carry a manual siphon pump. You just hook it on your hose and pump the balloon until your gas starts to siphon.

1) Suck until you see gas. Cover the end of the hose. Put covered end in a drain bucket below the gas tank.

2) Put one end of hose in tank and the other in a drain bucket. Use compressed air pressurize the gas and it should flow out

all of the new car have a guard at the neck of the gas tank to prevent syphoning. I have tried it on a couble of newer cars (legally) and it doesn't work.
