Siphoning petrol....how can it be done?
- Thread starter Ryan
- Start date
in all seriousness there was a wee neddy guy in our football team that could do it.
firstly park on a hill with the clio up from the other car or gerry can
get a plastic pipe or a hose pipe and take the end section off , stick it in the clio's tank then suck on it yourself (petrol tastes great) and it should flow down IF theres enough of a gradient.
well thats what he said anyway.
i should point out that it probably wont work!

Clio doesnt run, and is parked on a flat bit of road lol!
Mr Mark, I dont really like sucking on long tube type things, R20 may be able to help me with that tho

wot u wanna do mate, is make sure the tube/hose exit end is LOWER than the level of petrol... so basically below the chassis of ur car, then suck until it ALMOST hits ur mouth, then stop and it will flow freely into the jerry can/container, etc! just remember the mint for afterwards!

Use an old coke bottle and a piece of tubing
Put a hole in the bottle and feed in the tubing sealing the hole with some blue tac or similar
You can then suck through the bottle top and the petrol will just drop into the bottle through the pipe so you won't swallow any.
Still get take in the fumes though which will probably f**k you up.
