Mark,

I'd bet that if you disconnect the gas line going to the fuel pump that
gas will then flow out of that line. You don't say how big your gas tank is
but 5 gal. gas cans are sold in most auto parts stores.

Conspicuous? Are we trying to find the best way to steal gasoline?

Conspicuous and "carrying gasoline"--aren't they the same...(?)

Drill through the tank and put an oil change pan underneath, or put a
50 gallon drum in a truck and use an electric pump, hopefully the
spark from the drill ignite the gas and kill you.

Take the car to any well equipped repair shop and have the techs do
the job. They will use an appliance called a 'Gas Buggy' which has its
own pump,and storage. Bring a container if you want to keep the fuel.
Otherwise, let the techs have it as a tip.
