| 605965 | 2007-10-28 08:49:00 | I would have thought that siphoning petrol in this day and age would be frwned upon, especially by a chemist in training. Heap big powerful fumes, and the gush of fuel down the throat isn't that great either. | Metla (12) | ||
| 605966 | 2007-10-28 08:57:00 | As Metz said, release the fuel line. Then get a clean rag, wrap it around the fuel filler hole, leave a partial gap, and blow really hard into it. | Greg (193) | ||
| 605967 | 2007-10-28 09:27:00 | Or grab a piece of neoprene hose (not rubber or some plastics, melts!), put hose into tank (immerse most of the hose in the fuel if you can),put your thumb over the end of the hose (hold it there), and lower the (thumbed) end of the hose below the level of the tank, remove thumb. Fuel will now drain into any receptacle you desire! (Without sucking anything!) | feersumendjinn (64) | ||

| 605970 | 2007-10-28 19:38:00 | We're talking about a motor mower petrol tank Feersumendjin. There's not a lot of space to work in via the filler cap! | user (1404) | ||
