If it's a rice burner, why are you talking about getting the gasoline out?

Cheapo plastic pump for a couple bucks at the parts store. That, or
unhook/cut the fuel line on the import, turn the igniton on and let it
pump the gas into a can for you.

Re: Siphoning gas into my TJ....
If you are pulling from the tank and into a can, then going into the Jeep,
why not just put one of your wife's knee-high panty hose on the end of the
hose that goes into the can? This should catch all of the big chunks for you

I have used a funnel and a basket style coffee filter with success to
clean suspect gas.
