I had just filled the tank and the transmission went bad. I tried to siphon it but there seems to be a anti-siphon screen in the tank. Any idea's?
How do I drain the gas tank on my 86 Astro?

a big pan, big hammer and medium sized nail? :-D
Take the filler neck off and drain straight out of the top of the tank?

Hi!
What I might have suggested, but may God help the guy if he makes a spark.
That would get the gas and all the pieces out of himself and the van!
Has an '86 got an in-tank fuel pump? If so, I'd reckon that "hot wiring" the pump, disconnecting an output lead and feeding the output into a suitable container would work well too.

better be a brass nail and hammer :-)
Yep.... And remember to do it on a *really* cold day... ;-)
