I would just let the fuel pump pump it into a jug..Easy to do

Just buy a few feet of 3/8ths hose and bypass the pump...

Dump out as much as you can and add fresh overpriced fuel

It is a 00 beetle. It ran for a littlebit alright, but i dont really want to be gumming up the heads or damaging the car. I tried cyphoning out the gas with a garden hose but repeated attempts just got me lightheaded. There must be a sharp kink or something in the inlet to prevent siphoning.

My truck sat for about a year and a half, instead of droppen the tank I filled it with mobile premium and added Seafoam in the gas. I drove it around for a few days till the tank was empty (it ran a little shitty like it had a miss in it but it ran good for sitten that long)then refilled it with premium and seafoam again. Did that a few more times and did 2 complete seafoam treatments and my truck runs like it did when I bought brand new. http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm

remove gas tank then clean with new gas

if it were me I'd just top it off with new gas, preferably premium and maybe add a fuel cleaner such as techron or seafoam.

Drive it till it's almost completely out of gas then top it off and maybe ad more cleaner and it should be fine.

Added some before parking my Civic for over a year - gas was still just fine.
