is never fun!
I hate sucking on a fuel hose to syphon fuel.
I hate it!
I hate it!
I hate it!
So when I found there was 30 gallons or so of gas in the Testa Rossa tank, I was dreading the task.
So here's what I did;
I screwed a 1/4" male pipe barbed fitting into the fuel pickup and stuck some air hose onto it. Then I ran the tube out the transom drain hole.
I have a six gallon plastic fuel can that the spout is close to the size of the air hose. I put some of my weight onto the tank with my knee to partially collapse the tank. Then I simply held my hand around the hose/spout joint and let up on the pressure on the tank. It worked!!!!:eek!::eek!::eek!:
I couldn't believe how easy it was.
