How to siphon gas?
Guys, my 97 ES300 will be going to the scrap yard in a few days.
I have more than +50L (13 gals) of gas still in the tank.
What is the easiest way to extract the gas from the gas tank?
I read that on some newer vehicles, there is something blocking in the filler neck to prevent siphoning. Is this applicable to 97 ES300?
Alternatively, I will have to remove the rear seat and fuel pump to get to the fuel tank.
Let me know if any of you have done this before and how.
Thanks.

The access hatch under the rear seat is by far the easiest way to do it.

I got around to doing it this afternoon by removing the rear seat and fuel pump.
A little messy and slow due to my crappy my siphon tool.
It was also starting to get cold so I stopped.
I will have to get a bigger hand pump tomorrow.
