Actually, I was kinda amazed that so many people here have experience
in siphoning gas. Is it a "guy thing"? Is that why so many guys
spit? (Another thing I can't figure out.)

When we were kids, we'd always be playing with gas power tools, mowers,
outboard motors, whatever. Gas often came from the family car.

As for spitting, that is just a dirty habit some people get into for some
reason. Glad I never did as it looks disgusting. Maybe it was necessary
for a rancher, farmer or someone working out in the dust.
