I'd just filled the bugger up and im damned if im going to waste £40!!!

How do i siphon the petrol out, as i have no idea, only that it has something to do with tubes!

fastest way is drain it from the bottom, most tanks have a drain somewhere, even if it is the fuel pipe

1. Obtain Petrol can and long plastic pipe.
2. Place 1 end of pipe into fuel filler neck until it enters petrol tank. (To the bottom)
3. Place lips around other end of tube.
4. Almighty suck......noting the fact that the petrol is rising.
5. Avoid ingesting petrol - at the last moment prior to drinking the stuff, tip plastic pipe into petrol can, ensuring petrol can is lower than fuel filler neck.
6. Hey presto - siphoned petrol!!!

You may indeed drink a little of the stuff, try not to especially if you are a smoker

That method, altough crude, does tend to work.

Regards.
Mike.

If you use clear tubing you will see the fuel coming

You will need about 10 metal containers, and a piece of preferably see through narrow hose pipe around five foot long, place one end of pipe deep into petrol tank, kneel down next to filler, so you are as low as possible, (you have to be lower than the tank level) and SUCK hard once, and just before the petrol reaches your mouth, quickly insert pipe into container number one.

I thought all petrol tanks had a filter / gauze in the nozzle that stoped siphoner's now-a-days? We tried it once and got no-where.

They do, hence my earlier post

Great. Scrotes can't siphon anymore... so they'll get a hammer and screwdriver and whack a hole in the tank instead. What great mind thought that one up?

I guess my siphoning days are over!

Try and see where the pipe exits the bottom of the tank towards the fuel pump and disconnect. Place empty containers undercar and catch falling petrol.....
