Use a pump designed to move fuel. like an electric gas pump. You don't want any stray sparks around when you doing that.

You don't need a pump unless the container is above the gas tank.
Atmospheric pressure will do just fine.
Take a long enough hose, fill it with gas, plug one end with your thumb, put the other end in the gas tank, lower the end in your hand to a container below the gas tank and let go with your thumb. It will flow as fast as the hose allows.
