Re: Gas siphoning
I did an upside-down head inside the empty doghouse of a 60's Chevy Van siphon trick once...sucked on the fuel line and filled my head and sinus cavity w/ gas...puked, passed out and had a headache for days...don't try it!!.
On another Danger note, isn't Ethanol toxic if you ingest it?. I've seen some station pumps note up to 10% Ethanol content and wondered how bad ingesting some when doing the simple siphoning we all love to do?. ~ Pete

Re: Gas siphoning
Here in NY we refer to those that suck the gas of others (illegaly) as using a "Tennessee gas card" -- sorry about that knoxvillepig.

Re: Gas siphoning
I came up with the idea of using clear line after NUMEROUS incidents of coughing and gagging on HI-Test!
Are you trying to tell us this is the real reason for your "slight" loss of hair!?! Sorry Bud but you left the door WIDE open on this one!

ALbert, My recommendation to you is to FLOG it mercilessly. Make sure you do lots of this...  ...this tends to use up a bit more gas AND you get to have fun! Why not take some pictures of your antics!  [/ QUOTE ] you know Mockingbirds idea...sound like more fun than mine. ...

Re: Gas siphoning
In times that I have had to empty my tank, I have been careful and taken the return line off my fuel pump and used a longer hose to place in the Jerry Can. It will take just a couple of minutes to get the gallons out that you want. Be sure to have a fire extinguisher handy anytime you mess with the gas!

Re: Gas siphoning
Around here we drill a hole in the bottom of the tank and then put a slightly over-sized metal screw back in the hole. You won't have to siphon ever again after this trick.
BTW - do this at your own risk. We, around here, are considered professionals!
