you could pop off the hose going into the tank and then drop in a siphon line.

might be better, but a bit more work, to pull the box off and go in that way...It will offer a lot better view & the crud won't be dropping in your face.

& if the fuel pump is weak or non functional, then it is snap to change

Why was it parked for 4 years??
