Pumping fuel out of gas tank

[97TSIAWD]

I want to take the fuel out of my car, on my TTA I can hook a hose up to the fuel rail and trigger the fuel pump and get it out. I'm not sure if DSM's have something similar. I know if push comes to shove I can take my back seat out and get to the tank that way but I was wondering if there was another way. I have 110 leaded in the car and I am planning on getting it e-checked (emissions). Thank you.

I'm not sure if/where 2g's have it but on 1g's there is a "fuel pump check terminal" on the main engine harness near the battery that you can jump with a positive power source and it will run the fuel pump without needing to run the engine. If 2g's have that you could just disconnect the line off the fuel rail inlet and pump it into a gas can.

Not sure if its the same, but on a 1g AWD, there is a drain plug on the gas tank.

Here is the Fuel Pump Check Connector. Like someone else said trigger it with power and the pump will run. Just disconnect the return soft line and put it in a bucket.

In this picture is it the blue or black connector? Any easy ideas on how to jump power to it? It seems like this would work very well. I don't have my shop manual with me or I would know which connector it was, thank you.

Sorry, the blue connector is the one you want.
