draining gas tank?

what is the best way to siphon gas from a 92 RS...I can't get my siphoning hose down the filler neck..Security I suppose.
Any suggestions would help....Fuel pump is bad.

Some times it can be a real turd to get that hose all the way down in there. There's no security that I know of on these cars.

Try twisting the hose as you push it down in there. Believe me, mine is also a PITA.

BTW: @ 6 pounds per gallon, it adds up quick!!! Especially if your on your back trying to maneuver it out by hand.
