Siphoning gas from a modern car.

[Merc-MarkO]

From what I've read so far, it's not easy anymore. I've read descriptions of screens in the filler neck or at the tank that prevent a siphon tube getting down to the gas level.

So, who has siphoned gas from a newer car ? How did you do it ?

......... and no, I'm not asking for the purposes of ripping off the neighbors in the middle of the night. Thank you.

You can't from the filler.

no, now when they wanna steal your gas, they just stab a hole in the bottom of your gas tank.

Stabbing a hole is so caveman-esque. Because I'm an evolved man, I burn a hole in the tank with a lighter instead.

It's hard to get the torch in the right spot, though, you gotta get riiighht under there.

How modern are we talking here? I siphoned gas from my old '05 Nissan Quest. There were obviously a couple valves in the filler neck, but a relatively narrow and stiff tube got past them.

All of the above and rubbing my sock covered feet across a piece of carpet.



To the OP question, I have no idea. Pulling a hose wont even work as many have the sending unit and pump combined on top of the tank.

I use the fuel pump to do it for me. Pull the supply hose off the engine and jump the pump at the fusebox

Clever. A little hard to cover up what you are doing but clever nonetheless.

Very clever.

When I had fuel in the Focus I wanted to remove while working on it, I put a gas can in the engine bay and ran the fuel line into it, and then put a battery in the hatch and ran it directly to the fuel pump. Took several minutes, but it got the fuel out.
