You could also use optional electric fuel pump to remove the fuel to another vehicle.
Not rocket science.
There's also 5 -6 gallon fuel cans.
$30 pump, Wally World Fuel Cans $10.

1984 s10 pu jerks, bogs by glge8770

My 84 s10 pu jerks and bogs at acceleration. The gas pedal is floored and no speed while jerking. It is a manual 2.8 v6, 5 spd. Plugs, cap, rotor,plug wires all new. Timing set, it runs lean. It did show a 41 code. Carb fuel filter also changed. Any suggestions as to why it won"t accelerate? It almost feels as if it is on a downshift. It won't get past 7 mph when all this occurs. This is my last vehicle. I need any help anyone can offer.Desperate....

Sometimes a bad accelerator pump can cause hesitation on take off.

Fuel pump by nightstick

I have a 2000 Chevy S-10 4 wheel drive pickup with 57,000 miles. I haven't been driving the vehicle regularly, but I would start the truck & drive it around the block. I noticed the "check engine" light came on once when I started the vehicle. The next time I attempted to start the truck it would not start. I priced a fuel pump an auto parts & nearly had a heart attack when they told me $395.00 plus my old one! The reason I haven't been driving the truck is the Universal joints need replaced. I was told today these vehicles have a fuel pump fuse or reset switch somewhere. Are these guys correct or are they just putting me on because I'm a woman? Are there other things I need to check before towing it to get a fuel pump installed? Thanks for any info.

You need to get it towed in and have it properly diagnosed, it could be a number of things.

Use your "nightstick" and bang on the tank with the key on. That will usually get the pump operating and the vehicle will start. That is a temporory fix to get it somewhere to have the pump replaced. I have a fleet of GM vehicles, and this trick works if it's the pump.
 Those pumps are very expensive, and replacing them is also expensive, because the tank has to be drained and lowered to get at the pump. It's a simple job, IF you have the proper equipment, such as a vehicle lift, and a roll around tank with a pump to drain the tank, and refill it when finished.
 While you have it on the rack, get those U-joints replaced..! I don't know why the u-joints would be out at that low mileage, unless you 4 wheel it and it's seen a lot of water and mud. My personal S-10 with 160K on it has the original U-joints. Perhaps get them checked to make sure that is the problem.
 Good luck
