No I'm not going around pinching fuel from cars, but I've gotta remove a full tank of fuel in order to drop the tank and replace the pump.

Besides sucking on a hose, and having to actually buy soethng to do the job, what's a good way to siphon fuel?

[stockman]

Drop the tank and pour it out.

jam an air line in the return disconect the main line and stick it in a drum.

[bohuler]

If all else fails, a 12 gauge will put a nice new drain hole

Put a siphon hose in the tank with the other end lower in a receptacle.
Pressurise the tank with compressed air.
Fuel will start siphoning without oral contact.

use some garden hose and a 2l coke bottle put a hole in the cap just till the hose will fit into it compress the bottle a bit then un compress it once its starts to run kink the hose and then you can unkink it in your fuel drums but make the end you want to go in the can on the ground wont work otherwise

Take the cap off and push the car on to the drivers side.

or pull the fuel line off the engine and pump it all out.

or just drop the tank

U cant put a hose down the filler pipe as there is a plastic thing in there to stop people stealing ur fuel
Put a big plastic tub under the filler hose and pull it off the tank
Then pull out the plastic thing and put in a jiggler hose
Get a metal end one not the plastic one there heaps better

Vitaras have the one way ball thing in the filler neck but Sierras don't.

Ok sorry My coily had something in there

[want33s]

Coilies too then... Doesn't surprise me. Everything is different on a coily.

[sogone]

Sprung sierras don't have 12 volt hair dryers either.

[rick1970]

Hose down filler, suck on end of said hose till fuel comes out.

Beer removes taste of fuel from your mouth. If taste stayes, have another. repeat as necessary

I once tried sucking fuel through a hose, NEVER AGAIN!!! I copped a heap of fumes in my lungs and coughed for 2 hours and felt sick afterwards, I really don't know how or why some fools sniff the shit to get high.

I like the idea chillin came up with, but It would take me ages to get through a 2L bottle of anything, So I wasted $7.50 on a jiggler siphon hose. Considering I'm probably ever going to need to use it once, I got the plastic one from stupidcheap.

if there is a drain bung in the bottom of the tank, just place big bucket underneath and undo the bung.
