Which is the best way to siphon gas?
It’s the best and most reliable way to siphon gas. ► First, identify the input and output ends of the pump. This is vital, as inserting the wrong end will blow air into the tank, rather than drawing gas out of it. ► Place an open container below the gas tank. Then, remove the tank lid.
How can I siphon gas without damaging my car?
Small pumps like this one will make siphoning gas a lot quicker. The trick to siphoning gas without damaging the vehicle is to use a small diameter, stiff hose like the ¼-inch hose that runs to your refrigerator ice maker. Cut the end at a sharp angle and spin, or “corkscrew”, the hose as you insert it.
What do I do if my siphon won’t work?
All you need to do is submerge the entire siphon hose, fill with water, put your thumb over one end, remove that end from the tank and release your thumb when it’s over the bucket. No sucking ever necessary. Ditto! And you can use a food-grade very inexpensive hose (marked potable) from your local hardware store.
How long is the hose for my siphon?
My hose is 50 feet long so I can move from tank to tank just by lifting the tank end of the hose and moving it, (quickly), to the next tank. The length of water filled hose is enough to keep the siphon working if you are quick and don’t drain too much water out of it when going from tank to tank.

Can You siphon gas from a lawn mower?
Whether you decide to use a lawnmower, a generator, or simply replace the fuel pump of your car, the first step is to extract fuel from it. Gas tanks filled with ethanol gas frequently need siphoning, as such fuel is known to quickly go bad.
Why are there no siphons in new cars?
A little research into modern-day siphoning, revealed that all new cars have an anti-rollover valve on all the openings into a gas tank. These valves also act as a siphon prevention system, which is the reason why nearly all the siphon devices and pumps sold these days are useless.
