Nice work mate!I improved on your idea to get petrol out of my bike tank(which is under the seat)I put the air pressure in with my compressor line and a rubber tipped blower,I can completely empty the tank.Cheers!
Yeah nice one bro it also helps to block end of hose with thumb immediately after blowing, builds up pressure in the tank and then release thumb to allow better flow 👍
really dude if you get caught siphoning gasoline, then i don't know you, really don't get me involved please, and please don't spill gasoline all over the god damn floor!
I've did this like you, and it worked fantastic! thank you so much my car didn't got a gas bath and didn't have to experience the taste of gas . great technique! Danke für denn tollen Tipp! ich habe es, so nach gemacht und es hat toll geklappt ich musste kein benzin trinken und mein lack ist auch trocken geblieben. ganz toller trick! danke
A much easier way is to pump the hose up and down into the tank while covering the hose with your thumb as you pull the hose up then push the hose down fast cover it with your thumb quickly then pull it up again. It will work every time.
Yo Man - my (limited) understanding of the science behind it suggests that your method would also be effective. The object is to make the air pressure in the hose less than atmospheric air pressure. You would achieve it by directly decreasing the air pressure of the hose whilst Aussie Overlander did it by increasing the atmospheric air pressure in the tank relative to that of the hose by blowing into the tank all the while covering the tank’s exit/entrance. Sound stuff! Thanks for the tip.
Dp some tanks have a grille or something to prevent siphoning? I'm trying to siphon fuel from my car, which has a full tank, but I can't seem to get the hose far enough before it hits something inside.
Good thinking. My friend filled his diesel van with petrol so I used a clear pipe to see when the fuel was sucked up far enough to put the end of the pipe into a container.
Listening to a SHTf audiobook on RU-vid called Surviving the Fall. What clearly appears to the technique used in your video is referred to and used by one of characters.
When I was in Venezuela in the end 90s, our car ran out of gas and a taxidriver pulled over and gave us some from his tank via siphon. Didn't want anything for it.
This doesnt work for me for some reason. (Its not a new car) Ive blocked off the fuel cap opening very well. If i suck, it works, but I rather use this method. But It doesnt work at all. Anyone knows why ?
