Getting gas from my gas tank? Mark 07-16-2008

I put the wrong sort of gasoline in my gas tank and I need a quick and easy
way to get it out again.

I was thinking of trying to stick a length of garden hose into the tank and
siphoning the gas out, but I am afraid that garden hose will be too bulky
and unweildy. Are there hoses available that are less conspicuous?

What is the best sort of container for carrying gasoline? The bright red
gas cans won't do, and I need something larger than a gallon, preferably
something that is easily portable.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

if its a late model vehicle you cant easily get the fuel out. they are
designed to be anti siphon

you will have to drop the tank and clean it out.........

what did you put in by mistake? if its say the wrong grade fill the
tank with normnal fuel, sometimes the solution to pollution is
dilution.

or disconnect the gas line near the engine and have the fuel pump
likely in tank empty it out

I heard you...

Bob, yes I can siphon gas from a late model vehicle. without your
amount of work. Moments and your tank is empty.
