Anyone know how to get the gas out of my 1995 Dodge Caravan without dropping tank?

I have been working on my van for awhile, I have over half a tank of gas in it, I want to get it out without to much of a mess or hassle. I tried to syphon it out with no success. Need help, I don't really want to drop the tank.

I have tried to syphon it out with no success, I tried getting it out by removing filter, but the fuel pump only pumps for a second when key is on. I don't want to drop the tank, any help will be great.

take the line off and turn the key on and let the pump get it out,i have done that before,its the easiest way to get it out,good luck.

put a rubber hose inside it to the bottom keep one side out ... suck in air .. buh not too much and make sure you have a bucket with you and let it flow out
