I have an even better reason why to pull the fill plug first.  'Cause if you

Just look for any sort of a liquid transfer pumps.  I bought mine at Walmart
in the Automotive section.  It works OK.  Cost about $5.  I have heard of
some guys using windshield washer pumps, or anything else that will pump
liquids.
