I actually own this car and you can check back in my posts.

Anyway, the car may go to the junk yard and I have a full tank of gas. I was having difficulty with putting a tube down the gas tank, seems that maybe there is a screen or something that blocks it?

Does anyone know the easiest way to siphon gas on this car? Does the car possibly have a fuel rail shrader valve test port?

Thanks for any tips you can give me here.

If it doesn’t work you can do what the gas hogs are doing and just drill a whole in the tank and drain the gas

Don't drill it...
The gas tank actually might be valuable. I have a 2001 and was looking for new or used plastic tanks and found them very expensive at wrecking yards.

I thought I had some bad gas and tried to get a siphon hose into the filler. It was impossible. Use the fuel pump to draw the fuel from the tank and past the filter to a proper container. Be careful of spillage and sparks.
