Default HELP - Draining Gas from a 2002 Stratus R/t 3.0L Coupe

Hello,
I'm want to drain OLD gas on my 2002 Stratus R/T 3.0L . I just replaced the Fuel Filler Neck Assy and when I had it removed, I was not able to get a line into the tank to siphon the gas.
Is there a way to drain the gas from the tank?
Any help would be appreciated..Thanks

There is a flapper at the inlet you would have had to bypass to get a hose into to siphon. Easiest way with the tank installed is going to be removing the rear seat bottom cushion, remove the metal plate covering the fuel tank access, then unscrew the plastic fitting holding the fuel pump assembly in, and remove that. From there you have easy access to siphon the fuel out.
