siphoning fuel
need to empty my driver's side fuel tank (16 gal). this might sound like a stupid question, but how do i siphon the fuel out? i've never actually siphoned fuel before, i just always see 'em do it on the "dukes of hazzard".

put a length of hose in the tank, long enough to siphone from bottom of tank and to be able to put other end in bucket. you can either suck on the hose until fuel comes out..place end in conatiner and let it flow.. you can also put hose in tank as far as you can..put finger over hole, pull hose out (not all the way) release finger and point into container.. may take a few tries to get it going..

no more siphoning
went to the auto parts store and got a transfer pump. for $13 i don't have to smell like fuel and i can use it to drain crankcase, transfer, radiator, and both diffs... basically anywhere there's liquid and a hole. thanks for the help.
