Pumping from the carb feed pipe would also mean you're pumping from the bottom of the tank so likely to get a lot of the condensation - could be why when you did similar and got the engine started you pulled through some petrol instead of condensation.

The large clear container would have to be petrol resistant of course. What I'll probably do is run the car a bit tomorrow, may put in a new set of plugs, over the weekend get a 5 gallon jerrycan from a friend and pump out a lot.
This is the pump I bought three years ago, works fine, just a bit noisy.
