If the fuel pump is not dead/dead, I would disconnect the fuel rail in the engine bay, pinch a rubber hose onto it and jump the pump at the diagnostic connector into 5 gallon tanks until it's empty.
If the pump is totally dead, consider picking up a cheap electric pump from the parts store. I have removed the filter and slaved a pump into that location to pump a tank dry before too. Ensure you pickup fittings to mate the pump to the tank line.

I have a slight sag in my rear
And if not mechanically inclined then an old hand pump may work as well with a long enough hose.
Amazon and harbor freight has them for 10 bucks.

Great idea! I will buy a pump and try. Thanks so much. I was just going to drop the tank and worried about gas pouring out when I pull the filler neck out.And if not mechanically inclined then an old hand pump may work as well with a long enough hose.

I bought this to do the same thing and it works great.
That's probably the better bet at this point. It seems like fuel pump prices have doubled, even the cheapies.
