Default 5th gen gas tank siphoning

My 94 Accord Wagon is dead right now, and I have no intentions on fixing it real soon, cause I have my 99 Accord now... However, when it died, I had almost a full tank of gas, and I'm a cheap bastard, and I wanna use the gas in my other Accord. Is there any easy way of getting the gas out that anyone knows of? I've tried siphoning with a bulb and a hose, but I had no luck... Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, that car is "siphon proof", which I guess means it has some kind of valve or something that prevents siphoning. Tell me I'm wrong please, though, lol.

There should be a drain plug on the bottom of the fuel tank. You need to disconnect your battery, relieve the fuel pressure, jack your car up, ground your gas tank... basicly a bunch of crap to get gas that is going to be filled with dirt and contaminants from the bottom of the tank. Just go out and buy some gas.
