Siphoning gas refers to the practice of withdrawing gas from a tank through a pip or hose, without using any mechanical components. A siphon is typically formed when two containers are at different levels, such as when the nozzle of a fuel pump is below the liquid level in the tank. The pressure in the larger container (the fuel tank) forces the liquid downwards into the pip, creating an uninterrupted flow from one container to another. Siphoning can also be done manually using a vacuum cleaner hose or tubing.

To siphon gas, start by placing a bowl or other container under the gas tank filler neck. Start the car’s engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. This will help loosen the fuel in the tank. Next, put the nozzle of a plastic soda bottle into the filler neck and twist it so that it seals tightly around the edges of the opening. Finally, turn off he engine and wait approximately ten minutes before removing thw siphon tube - during this time some ofthe gasoline will have been transferred fromthe storage container to your car's fuel line..
