If you have a little gasoline in the tank/tool to be filled, you can suck in
step #7 until the long hose is filled from the bottom up, remove your mouth
from the hose (should have inhaled enough fumes to get a taste by then) and
let the siphon start... ;-)

1. Squarely place the gasoline container higher than the tank/tool to be
filled.
2. Use two lengths of 1/4" to 3/8" clear hose: one 8-12" long, other
about
4' long.
3. Insert one end of long hose into tank to be filled.
4. Insert other end of long hose into gasoline container to the bottom.
5. Insert one end of short hose into gasoline container about 3-4".
6. Cover mouth of gasoline container with clean rag sealing around two
hoses.
7. Blow into other end of short hose to start siphon.
8. Squeeze/fold long hose near tank to be filled when done.
9. Lift end of long hose to drain gasoline back into container.
10. Works bloody great siphoning out of cars/trucks if you can get the
hose
to the fuel tank bottom -- larger diameter hoses allow higher flows.


Thanks...doesn't read as if it tastes as good as the old fashioned way
of starting a siphon, though...
