How Best To Siphon Your Gas From Your Tank

Hey Guys (Newbie Here)

Check this I ~ I tried it and it REALLY WORKS

I had to siphon the out of my gas tank; had to clean gas petcock mesh filter and lines and carburetor.

I hated the thought of SUCKING the gas out the tank and most of the gas in my mouth :roflmao:

Here's a GREAT TRICK to avoiding having a mouth FULL OR GAS :witsend:

Get two hose 1/4 I.D. is O.K. larger if you want.
One hose long enough to get right into the gas in the tank.
The other hose is shorter ~ put both in gas tank. But DON'T let the shorter one
touch the gas at all.

Now when both hoses are in your gas tank COVER the gas tank hole completely with one hand as best as you can ~ trying to create a closed seal.

Put the longer hose end into whatever catch container you have to catch the gas.
Now BLOW into the shorter hose that doesn't touch the gas at all.

You're creating A VACUMN and watch the gas COME RIGHT OUT THE LONGER HOSE INTO YOUR CONTAINER.

Check out my attachments.

Hope that helps any your guys that have helped me out so much on this great forum

nice trick, I'll try it next time I need gas for the mower.

I generally just close the petcock, take the hose loose from the carb, open the percock and drain into a container.

Looks like a good idea though.

Just want to " thank you great guys " 4 your help

Hey All You GUYS

After over 4 years of my Harley laying up in the back patio and me layed-up
with one cancer kidney out of my body and recovering well now.

I thought so much about getting my Harley in the wind. And for an old man like me that doesn't really know that much about engine. I figured there goes $$$$$$
to the Harley Dealership ~ But then . . .

I turned to this forum and found such a GREAT BUNCH of GUYS

This morning 09/01/'11 After taking all your great suggestions for what to do with:
Pistons,maybe a ceased motor,dirty gas filter, dirty gas,dirty carburetor.
All those things you guys taught me what to do and what steps to take FIRST.

After going through school with you great guys; I put the Harley up on blocks like you suggested in order to go thru the gears; Now the moment of TRUTH. I hit the starter and B A N G ! ! ! She started up in a second, man you should have seen the look on my face.

So with the ending of this novel ~ but your not ever getting rid of me YET

I want to peronally shout out to a certain guy: BAGGERPAUL, Thank you Paul for taking the time to baby sit me and bring my Harley to start.
