Removing fuel from Astra Estate

    I wonder if anyone can tell me how to remove the fuel from the tank of
    an 07 Astra Design Estate. I have a 5 gallon container and a hose.

    In the old days it was simply a matter of siphoning the fuel using a
    tube but these newer cars have anti siphoning baffles in the filling
    pipe so how do I do it.

    The reason for this is that I filled the car up the other day in
    preparation for a trip and on Tuesday the cooling system sprang a leak.
    The dealer took it in yesterday and diagnosed a head gasket failure.
    This coupled with new front discs required and a couple of other things
    has brought the estimate for repair to over 2000.00. Decided to trade it
    in against a new car so I want to transfer the fuel to our other car.

    Thanks in advance!
