Default siphon fuel

Hi folks,
I did a search, but it came up empty.

I'm working on a friends 2002 Camaro v6. The fuel pump is dead.

My problem is that the fuel tank is full and I can't get any size hose down the filler neck to siphon out the fuel. I seem to be hitting a check ball or something.

What is the easiest way to empty the tank?

Thanks,
Rob

Fuel Tank Draining

TOOLS REQUIRED[*]J 42960-1 Fuel Tank Drain Hose[*]J 42960-2 Fuel Flapper Door Holder
[ul][/ul]CAUTION: Never drain or store fuel in an open container. Always use an approved fuel storage container in order to reduce the chance of fire or explosion.
NOTE: Do not run the fuel pump unless the fuel pump is submerged in fuel in order to prevent damage to the fuel pump.[*]Remove the fuel filler cap.[*]Install the J 42960-2 into the fuel fill pipe in order to hold the door open.[*]Insert the J 42960-1 into the fuel tank until the hose reaches the bottom of the fuel tank.[*]Use an air operated pump device in order to drain as much fuel through the fuel fill pipe as possible.
