I had a wasps nest near the ground in our front foundation planting where I could not spray that foam wasp spray up the nest hole. Ultimately, I scrarificed my wifes flowers by driving over the nest with my Tundra.
Then I blasted the crushed nest with the spray from the safety of my truck.
Hmmmmmm did not impress the wife though with thread marks over her flowers :-O.
But since the old dog that she loves much more than me had been bitten several times she forgave me rapidly 
Here is an idea for you if you have only one hole, buy a house fumigator canister, drop it in the hole after dark when they are asleep, cover it with a five gallon pail with a rock, or just a slab of slate and run out of there fast. Never tried it myself but it should penetrate down the hole.

Brokenarrow, that is too funny! makes me think of Caddy Shack and Bill Murray going after his nemisis the gopher.
Here are a couple more ideas:
1) if you have a bug zapper put it near the hole when they are sleeping then run it a couple hours before dark and in the morning for a couple of days. I have done this and it kills alot of them.
2) Connect that long length of PVC pipe to shop vac and suck them in. Then spray some insect spray into the end of the hose to kill them. ( I have never done this )
3) Take your PVC idea again and instead of gasoline, use a funnel to fill a portion of it with Sevin based powder. Use exhaust side of shop vac to blow into the hole at night. (again never tried myself)
3) Again take your PVC idea and instead of gasoline, use the PVC as a aquaduct to poor liquid sevin down their hole. (again never tried myself)

Here is some guidance on how to protect honey bees from the dreaded Sevin application to crops:
" Proposed label language includes, “Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.” This language would be applied to all carbaryl labels. The current bee warning on Sevin 5 Bait reads, “This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on crops. Protective information may be obtained from your Cooperative Agricultural Agent.” The current bee warning on Sevin XLR Plus reads, “This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. However field studies have shown that SEVIN brand XLR Plus Carbaryl Insecticide is less hazardous to honey bees than other carbaryl products when direct application to bees is avoided and the spray residues have dried. For maximum honey bee hazard reduction, apply from late evening to early morning when bees are not foraging. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are foraging in the treatment area. However, applications may be made during foraging periods if the beekeeper takes on of the following precautionary measures prior to bee flight activity on the day of treatment: (1) Confine the honey bees to the hive by covering the colony or screening the entrance or; (2) locate hives beyond bee flight range from the treated area. Precautionary measures may be discontinued after spray resides have dried. Contact you cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or your local Bayer CropScience representative for further information.”
So I can only guess they won't like it.
On onace's idea for a hose if you have access to a hot water line like I do in my garage putting 180 degree water down their hole will also have some impact.
