You would have to disconnect the filler neck from the tank and insert your
syphon into the tank from there. Even then I'm not sure it would work. I am
not that familiar with the workings. I know that 1995+ GM W bodies have a
check ball to prevent gas from spilling out the filler neck. I'm just not
sure where exactly it is, if it's in the neck or the tank.

I've got a 2 KW Honda generator. Figured on using gasoline from my two
cars
if we ever had to run the generator for a long period of time. So I
bought
a hand-pump primed gasoline syphon (hate the taste of gasoline) and tested
it by syphoning from a gas can to the Honda gas tank. Then I tried to
syphon out of the car gas tank to the gasoline can and it doesn't work.
The
only reason I can think of is the end of the hose is not in the gasoline
pool in the car's gasoline tank. The plasic hose tends to curl so that
might be the problem. Or there can be some sort of baffle in the tanks to
prevent syphoning. One car is a 98 Cutlass and the other is a 2000
Subaru.

Any thoughts on "how to syphon gasoline from a car"?
