How can i siphon petrol from my old (91) honda accord?

[dee2912]

cut a piece of garden hose about 3foot or so stick it in2 the tank an suck like hell petrol should start to come then jus drop the hose into a drum you may get a little petrol in your mouth but it does no harm

Some cars have a mesh halfway down the pipe leading to the tank to stop people stealing the petrol.

If your's doesn't try this.

As you put the hose pipe in to the tank blow into it and you'll hear bubbles when your'e in the petrol.

To get the petrol out, don't suck as 'dee' sugests, a mouthfull of perol isn't nice. instead place a damp cloth around the filler cap to form a seal around your hose and blow, hard, this will increase the preasure inside the tank and when you stop blowing the petrol will be forced out through the hose. Keep the end of the hose below the height of the tank and the petrol will continue to flow until the tank is empty.

I know that most Honda's have an anti syphon pipe on them.

There may be a drainage bolt on the fuel tank just don't use anything plastic on it (like a socket set type thing) or it will rot the plastic.
