Arrow Can you syphon gas out of a 93"?

I have dual gas tanks (the front one is a 30 gallon an the rear a 19 gallon) My front fuel pump went bad last week, an i dont have the time/money right now to drop $800 dollars and 3 days to have the fuel pump replaced. So im just running on my rear tank right now, I have about 15-18 gallons of fuel in my front tank im not able to use. I dont want to put it in my rear tank because its almost 10 days old an probably gas gone bad with whatever metal pieces the fuel pump has dropped into the tank. I want to syphon it out and give it away. Is there anything in the hose to prevent syphoning? I tryed an all i got was a deep breath of fumes (that really burns the lungs after a couple trys) or am i not using unuff hose? I put about 3ft into the tank...

listen, take a weekend.take the bed off. it SEEMS like a lot (trust me i know this). it's NOTHING to replace this thing. yeah, you SHOULD be able to syphone it out. get a small diameter hose. go to autozone and get the syphon kit for $10.

if you drink gas on accident, drink a few glasses of milk

I can buy the pump, thats no big deal. I just dont have the 3-4 days they need and $700 right this minute a local shop wants to replace the pump, Do you have to drop the tank at all? So you just unbold the bed? How much does the bed weigh (est.) because i dont have a hoist..Could me an a drunk buddy lift it?

a bed isn't too heavy. let's put it this way, i held a side of the bed up for 1-2 min per side while a buddy slipped the spacer blocks onto the frame rails for a body lift on both sides. two guys can pick the bed up and take it off no problem.

when you're siphoning out the gas, you need to be lower than the tank with your end of the hose
