Can anyone teach me how to syphon petrol frpm a car into a jerry can?

Question

never tried it before and not sure how syphoning works

Answer 1

You first need to make sure that there is not an anti-syphon device fitted to the fuel tank.

Get a hose about 1.5 meters long, feed it into the fuel tank until you have enough hose to reach the ground from the filler cap. Position the jerry can close to the end of the hose, now suck the end of the pipe until petrol hits your mouth, then quickly put the end of the hose into the jerry can.

Ja.  

Answer 2

as first answer then light a match and put in mouth

Answer 3

Use a fluid-transfer pump.  Never suck at petrol, or even inhale petrol vapour, (and petrol is always vapourising, as you can always smell) as it contains appreciable amounts of carcinogenic (cancer-causing) compounds.

Answer 4

Most modern cars & vans have an anti syphon system. It stops you inserting a hose into the tank. For the two people above me I syphoned petrol out of my car once so I could use it to run my lawnmower.

Answer 5

ask at your local police station they will help.

Answer 6

First, use a clear hose, unless you like the taste of gas. Put one end in tank, other in mouth. Suck until you see gas, and then quick switch hose into jerry can, sitting below level of tank. Gravity will do the rest. Crimp hose to cut flow when can is full, then raise up and un-crimp hose to empty, then remove from tank.

Answer 7

Insert tube into tank and suck. Make sure you swallow at least 2 litres to teach you a lesson.

Answer 9

Answer 10

er no  

Answer 11

Ther are hand-operated syphon pumps available, but if you want to be a purist, then all you need is hose.

Just put one end of the hose into the source (gas tank) and place the petrol can LOWER than the source. This is key. Usually you can just set it on the ground near the tank opening.

Using the other end of the hose, position the end of the hose close to the petrol can and put it into your mouth. Use it like a straw until you feel (and taste) the petrol flowing into your mouth. Once the flow has started, put the low end of the hose into the petrol can. This will start the syphyon.

While you wait for the petrol can to fill, rinse out your filthy, nasty-tasting mouth.

Answer 12

Nope, just in case you're thinking of stealing gas from my car...

Answer 13
