Removing Gas

Hey guys im trying to get the gas out of my tank on my 280zx. I tried to siphon the gas out but the tube wont even go down to the tank like something is blocking it. I need to remove the fuel so I can replace my fuel pump. Any ideas or other ways I could do to get the fuel out??? Please and thanks!

pull the fuel pump and let gravity work thru the suction line. Or since you are replacing just pinch off the suction line and swap pumps. Pull the fuel sender and get a bilge pump and suck it thru the opening. lots of ways to skin that cat.
