Thread: How to siphon gas?

I wrecked my B13 but I have like a half tank of gas. I want it, lol. What's the best way to get to it? I can get to the sending unit plug (I think?) since I have the rear seats out. What's the best way to go about this? Or what about straight down into the tank from where you'd usually fill it up?

Stick a hose down the fill and siphen or pump it out.

Stratton.

I ran a hose down the filler neck just like has been done since the beginning of time. However, I have to say, don't use your lungs to start the siphon. Or if you do, be extremely careful not to get any gasoline in your mouth or really any vapors in your lungs. Obviously I was being a tool, but I ended up breathing in some fumes and possibly swallowing a little bit of gasoline. (I was coughing a lot.) For weeks afterward I would burp and it would burn and smell/taste like gasoline. I thought it would never stop.

Use a hand pump to get the flow started.

If you want, you could pull the feed line hose since you have access under the seat, and attach a new hose and run that out to a bucket. Or just unhook the other end of the feed hose from the hard-line under the car and put a bucket under it. Then apply 12V to the pump and watch the fuel just pump out. In hind sight that sounds like the best idea ever. You could always turn the key on and off in the ignition to cycle the 2-second priming mode of the pump if you're ultra lazy.

get a hose, stick it in and start sucking it out. Don't worry the gas taste shouldn't bother you too much xD I'm sure if you remove one of the hoses you can get it out but you better have somewhere to put all that gas...!!!!!

take off your feed line and run power to your fuel pump.

Google is your friend. They have video thingy's showing you how to do it, too.....

Well I knew how to siphon it the traditional way, the reason I was asking is because I wasn't sure if I would've been able to stick a hose down the feed, as I know many cars have things in the feed that prevent it.

So, here's the method I'm going to go about doing this.

Gonna snip the fuel line (close to the driver's side door), put a bucket under it, and put the pump to 12v. This should be pretty simple.
