Can you syphon gas from a 1997 chevy astro van?

Question

Hi! My 1997 Chevy Astro Van's axle broke and it's totaled. I just pu $90 worth of gas in it. I read that some "newer" chevy's have a screen that prevents gas syphoning. Before I go spend $20 on a gas can and syphoning kit, does anyone know if the 1997 chevy has a screen that prevents gas syphoning or can you syphon gas from it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think it has to be a lot newer than that.  If nothing else you can always drop the gas tank and open it up and get the gas out that way. Good LUck!

Answer 2

i dont kno if it has a screen but since its totaled you could even cut a hole in the tank (use something that would NOT produce sparks) and drain the gas into some catch pan/tub

Answer 3

The factory has never used a anti siphon device in any chevy model car or truck.You will have no problem getting your fuel out.Please use extra caution when removing your fuel.Best of luck.
