Whenever I pull the engine out of my Beetle I put a stubby #2 Phillips screwdriver in the rubber fuel line and reclamp it. This works as a really good plug. I've done it a thousand times this way.
One day, though, it just wouldn't seal. I was completely covered in gas by the time I found my visegrips to clamp the line. I was lucky that I didn't have any electrical stuff going on, and there was a garden hose handy to soak everything down, including me. The one thing that really bothered me later was how fast gasoline dries out your skin!
