when you suck on the hose the gas will flow towards your mouth so when it's close to your mouth just put the hose in a gas container and the gas will por into the container on its' own. or, you could just drive the car till the gas light comes on. when you drive it again just bring a 5 gallon gas container with some new 93 octane, pour it in so it mixes with the little amount of gas left in the tank and fire up the motor.
DO NOT DRAIN YOUR GAS TANK! with the temp changes of winter you get condensation in you gas tank and they rust. Fill it to the ****, take it from a canadian winter expert

Doesn't bother me one bit. The thing sucked in the snow anyway. Plus it keeps the mileage down. It's a 2000 with 22,000 miles. Poor things already seen 2 turbo setups
