This is typically located higher up in the fuel filler pipe. It is a mesh screen that prevents you from putting anything solid into the gas tank. There are actually two devices that can prevent you from siphoning gas from a car. You will need to bypass this if you want to get fuel out of the tank. Unless you are trying to siphon gas from a really old car, chances are that it has an anti-siphon device. But wait – the car has an anti-siphon valve! A squeeze-bulb type siphon will make the job a lot easier. *Don’t use the old method of siphoning gas with your mouth! The risk of getting a mouthful of gasoline is simply too great. Squeeze the valve and it will suction the gas out of the tank and into your canister. Remember that siphons are one-way devices so make sure you put the right side of the hose into the tank. Stick the siphon hose into the tank and the other end into a fuel canister. Use the screwdriver to push the flap aside and hold it open. To bypass this, all you need is a long, skinny object like a screwdriver. The flap allows you to insert a hose in but will jam when you try to remove the siphon hose. Use screwdriver to push aside flap over filler pipeĪlmost all fuel pipes have a little metal flap over them.
You can use a crowbar or the claw on the back of a hammer. Even if you don’t know how to pick a lock, it’s pretty easy to open the fuel door with brute force. You just need special tools, know-how and a lot of ingenuity. However, it is really difficult to siphon gas from modern cars because they have anti-siphon valves and devices in them.
You could use the siphoned gas to fuel a generator or to refuel your vehicle during evacuation. While I definitely don’t recommend it, knowing how to siphon gas is an important skill to know for emergencies.
