Return to the vehicle (which has now stalled due to the lack of fuel), reconnect the return line, and remove the tank screen. You won't get more than one pint draining down upon your head.

All other advice............worthless.
WRONG. You made a incorrect assumption that the tank filter is not clogged. The tank strainer is about 2 1/2" to 3" high. If the bottom half of it is blocked then you are left with a lot of fuel in the tank though the car stalled. Ask me how I know.
