How to empty tank on my 89 Olds 88

Well my 89 Olds 88 tranny gave out at 204,000 and I just filled the gas tank up. Tried siphoning but cant seem to get the hose in the gas. Is there a baffle in those tanks? Any ideas for getting out $50 worth of gas. Someone said to use the fuel pressure test port and jumper the fuel pump relay so it keeps pumping. Any thoughts?

That's how I do it-- a/c hoses have the same thread- I use an old set- plumb them together and stick it in the gas tank of another car- then jumper the relay (or use primer connector) and let it empty the tank-- don't run the fuel pump dry- if you care about it anymore-- won't last long that way...
