<VV> group red for me - going to drop my fuel tank

[Bill Hubbell]

There is another way to start a siphon, assuming you have an air compressor:

Cut a small diagonal slit about 1 foot from the outlet end of  hose.
Insert uncut end of hose into gas tank
Insert cut end into bucket or gas can
Inset blow gun attachment of air hose into slit on hose -- blow nozzle
facing toward gas can
Blow a brief blast of air into hose -- gas will start flowing.
