I was not laughing at you Franko. Someone asked for advice and you offered
it. I was laughing at how complicated this became and the fact that someone
would actually have to ask for help on filling up a gas tank.

Peace brother. I apologize if my post offended you.

Thought you'd get a laugh out of that, Jim. An old, seasoned coal miner
taught me that over 32 years ago... been using it since for other
applications. Ciao! ;-)

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.

Oh, oh. He come about a dozen posts all suggesting that you borrow
one
of her pyrex cups and be *sure* she knows about it.... :-)



I wonder if gasoline tastes any better now than it did when I was a
kid,
and siphoned some out of my dad's truck to fill my tanks...

This is hilarious. I never knew how complicated it was to fill a gas
tank....or to have to ask for advice on how to do it.

Carry on. ;-)

Lower the hose into the tank until it hits fuel, seal the neck with a rag or
your hand, blow and release until the fuel actually bounces into the hose
and quickly lower below the fuel level in the tank. Never suck fuel. That's
strickly amateur...... By the way, the siphon hose is called a Georgia
Credit Card.

Hope ya'll doan mind me button in here.....
