The hamd pumps are a few quid and always good to have the right tool for the job. Plus it beats getting a gob full of petrol.

Re: Fuel Tank Pump / Siphon
Not used it myself but this one on Amazon is cheap and cheerful and made by Draper, so likely to be up to the job of just emptying a tank of fuel.

I just lift the tank and pull one of the pipes off, making sure you have a container handy obviously.

Re: Fuel Tank Pump / Siphon
I didn't know you could get a pump!!! I've always used the sucking method... and getting a mouth full. But found recently if you use a colostomy bag then you can create the same suction by just pulling the sides of the bag apart with the tube end I the tank
... and no... I'm just not sure why I ended up in possession of colostomy bags.

Re: Fuel Tank Pump / Siphon
I know fuel is getting expensive but going round siphoning people's tanks is naughty. Always used the sucking on a big tube method as I'm to tight to buy something else. Just dont drink it if you get a gob full spit it out..... If you want next time we meet I have something you can practice on.
