I was stuck and used a 2 liter bottle with some vinyl tubing attached to the end. I had a extra mas. cyl. cap (with hole drilled) and squeezed the bottle to pressurize. Chewing gum will help seal, but you really don't need much pressure anyways. Of course you want to loosen the cap BEFORE you let the bottle expand to it's natural shape. Then you add more fluid and repeat till you get good clear stuff from the drain.
