Absolute BEST way to Siphon Fuel. You've never seen this before

Old School method to siphoning fuel.

Cool video, what does 3 bricks higher mean?

[henrytheworst]

This is the only siphoning video we ever need on YouTube. Your pappy should be proud.

this will come in handy with the apocalypse right around the corner.

Can’t wait to try this on my neighbors Tesla 😈

My dad taught me the same over 50 years ago.
That’s one beautiful truck. Stay well

Works great on older vehicles like the one you are demonstrating of course, but most modern cars and trucks have anti-siphon screens and rollover valves deep in the filler tube that prevent your step 1— "lower the tube to the bottom of the tank..." .

Thanks so much I've been able to save a lot of money siphoning gas from my neighbors vehicles. Your video made it easy!

I like your system for siphoning gas! I’ve never seen that done before. My dad was an expert when it came to pumping water. He earned two U.S. patents for his Jet drives. He was a well driller and pump installer by profession. He kept a 55 gallon drum gas can in his pickup to power his well drilling rig. When he needed to siphon gas he would lower a garden hose into the drum. He would move the hose upward about a foot with his thumb over the end. Then he would release his thumb and very quickly move the hose downward. When the hose struck the bottom he would cover the opening with his thumb and repeat the process until the hose was full and would siphon on its own. Not only will this start a siphon but the pumping action can shoot a liquid at least 10 feet! I worked for a farmer that I didn’t like. He was trying to siphon gas with his mouth. I said, “Let me do that Al! Stand back!” He was about 6 feet away and I blasted him in the face with a stream of gasoline. 🤗It was great! “Oh sorry Al! I told you to stand back!” The only people that I’ve seen use this technique are my dad and my brothers. My dad was a smart man!

I'm 75 and have ''drank'' more than my fair share of fuel !!!! GREAT VIDEO

Mate i've been playing with syphons all my life as long as i can remember and have never come across those two bloody brilliant ways to syphon without as you said, "getting a mouthfull of petrol".. Thanks for that video, being a farmer with lots of machinery I do still use the syphon from time to time, and i am very thankfull for your ideas..

As a 16 year old in 73, me and my buddies sure could have used this during the oil crisis. My 429 SCJ Mustang got 6 miles to the gallon with that 850 double pumper. But now I know! Thanks!

The way I've always done it is similar to the first method, but even works on tanks nearly empty. The trick is to use a hose 3 feet longer then normal. Insert that extra hose into the tank, WITHOUTH thumbing the end, so the slack fills up with gas. Then thumb the end, and start pulling the line out of the tank. Once enough is out of the tank that you can start the siphon, release the thumb. Its a little tricky with an unfamilar tank, but better then using your mouth.

Two brilliant ideas I've never seen before. I learn something new every day. Thanks!

[ToConnects]

See, it's the little things like this that I love to randomly find, and turns to be great knowledge that'll make me look like a genius if I ever need to siphon fuel in front of others. Thankyou for sharing this.

[scottmontgomery]

Good info. Especially with gas prices the way they are. 😂

I learned the second trick from my father when I was 5 years old, and I used it 23 years later, hours after the 2010 Chile earthquake. My father-in-law had two Peugeot 505s, but the only one with gasoline broke down the day before. Public transportation wasn't working and that way we were able to go buy food and other things. I didn't know the first trick, I'll try it in the next earthquake.

[sidneybailey]

Trick number 3. Use two different size hoses. One short, one long. Kind of like trick 2. One must slip into the other pretty snuggly. Slip one into the other. Insert the long hose into the tank like trick one. Lower the end of the hose below the tank. Put your finger on the end of the hose and pull the short hose off of the long hose. The vacuum created when pulling the hose will suck the fuel up and over the bend. Just don't make the short hose too short. It should be about as long as the distance from the bottom of the tank to the filler spout, give or take a few inches. Works no matter what the fuel level is unless it is nearly empty. In which case it won't siphon anyway.

[bleddyndavies]

Thanks, now I never need to pay for fuel again, my neighbour on the other hand, his fuel bill just doubled!

[epiphonium]

First tip I learned is make sure the truck ain't a diesel unless your car is. Second thing to note is most new vehicles have some kind of anti-siphoning flap or locking gas cap.

[claudiarosenthal]

Wow! Thank you so much! The siphon we bought had the bulb in between the tubes and didn't work. I detached them and used your method on our motorcycle, which worked immediately. I impressed everyone.
