Ran into a situation that I needed small engine gas and wanted to avoid a trip to go get it. I had three vehicles full of gas, and could only get gas siphoned from one. The motorcycle, with the smallest tank, was the only one I could get gas out of.
I tried a pretty old one of these:
It refused to work. Dry seals? Didn't matter a lot, as the tube wouldn't thread through the filler tube bends or whatever obstructions.
This one worked in the motorcycle tank, but wouldn't find its way through the filler tubes on the four wheel vehicles to get into the gas tanks:
It'd be nice to have a reliable pump or siphon to get at fuel stored in modern vehicles. Fueling the generator comes to mind, on top of being in a similar situation to the one mentioned.
A way to drain a gas tank for fuel pump or tank issues would also be handy.
What do you all use for this purpose?
