Default "Steal" fuel from S2K?

Ok, here´s the problem. My buddy will ship my car tomorrow and the shipping company refuse to accept full tank.
He bought a hose with pump made for this but the hose wont go down the pipe, he said it like a stop down there.

Any ideas what to do? Please PM if you got a trick and don´t want it to go public.

Thanks!

He could unbolt the fuel pump and stick the hose down there.

Yeah, but he´s no mechanic. Can´t sit over here and ask for that kind of help.

Free fuel in SF, anyone?

And also, will leave tomorrow.

Unplug the fuel line from the fuel rail and run to a bucket. Then just keep priming the fuel pump by turning your key on and off and empty the tank.

I 'sucked' gas out of the S2K once for my bike. Used 6 foot of clear, 3/8 tubbing.

either leave the car running until it runs out, or disconnect furl line somewhere.

Connect a temporary line to the return line on the fuel rail ( The one that exits the fuel pressure regulator)

Idle the car till it stops, then you are out of fuel. It will pump around 3 litres/minute.
