Before my car died on me I put pretty much put a full tank of gas in the car and with gas prices at $3+, I was wondering how i could get the gas out of my car. Its been sitting in my driveway with a full tank of gas, the car doesnt run anymore, ive tried to use a cyphening hose that a freind has but the hose doesnt reach, i think there is a screen or something.

this would be a little unethical, but you could always take the fuel pump out and siphon it oout that way. the access for the fuel pump is in the rear compt under the carpet, you cant miss it it is on the right

Unethical? How the heck is that?

There is no screen that I'm aware of. Either do a better job of syphoning or disconnect the fuel line from the filter and run the fuel pump to pump it out.
