- I show several ways to siphon and test out 6 different types of siphons (syphons) sold today.
Having a way to siphon gas in your vehicle can be very handy in a SHTF situation or if you are out of gas or want to share some gas with someone else. NOTE: MY TWITTER IS @Horsyguy

There was a news story here in Florida a few years ago, a man went to his RV and there was a siphon hose stuck in it with a big pile of puke on the ground, the hose was hanging out of the septic tank instead of the gas tank.
I forgot the name of it, but I liked the one with the metal fitting on one end that you have to jiggle up and down. Simple, one piece, not bulky, nothing to lose, packs away small enough. One could also use one of those to empty a fish tank if you're changing the water.
When you mentioned the name of that one, I paused the video and looked for it on Amazon. It's got good ratings and I saved it in my Wish List. One of these damn days I'd like to get my fish tank going and a simple siphon is key for that.
Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos trying to help and inform us and we really appreciate it Rick. Smokey's response to Batman was adorable. I was watching one of your older California videos and you had a smokey grey colored cat just like him walking around the horses then. Were any of those cats ever yours? Thanks again also for my pretty bad asthma attack caused from laughing so hard at the ladder falling video. I will ALWAYS reach for my inhaler at or before watching any of your videos from now on lol. That totally unexpected laugh factor is part of why we just enjoy your channels so much. Everything we learn keeps us coming back as well.
No, that was just a stable where Rick kept his horses, Buddy and Tanner. All the other critters there belonged to some one else. If he had a cat there, I'm sure he would have brought the cat along when he moved to Texas.
But shortly after Rick got to his new place, Smokey showed up.
Rick great information on different Siphon devices, and how they work.
Smoking a cigarette and siphoning gas are my 2 favorite hobby 🔥💣 vids like this gets me all fired up.
never seen anybody so excited and shouting so much about gas siphon gadgets.
😄😆🤣
Country wisdom. My grand dad had fuel delivered. He had barrels on an elevated rack. It was a long way to town. He had one for gas and one for diesel. Gas theft was a problem and he tried many things. What really worked was switching the labels. Putting five gallons of diesel into you car was a real wake up call to the thieves.
iamedbytes genius, love it.
Years ago my friend's father bought a little 3 cylinder Chevy Sprint. He was all excited about the gas mileage they said it would get. It had an 8 gallon tank & we started taking 2 gallons out for the first few weeks. His father was very disappointed because he was coming nowhere near the claimed mileage. He was timing light & doing every little trick in the book trying to increase his mileage but he was still getting like high 30's (Chevrolet claimed high 40's city, low 50's highway.
After about a month of taking gas out, we left it alone & surprise surprise, his mileage went way up. My friend's father came to the conclusion that it was improving because the engine was breaking in. Of course, we started adding a gallon every week & he was getting 60+ mpg. lol He didn't find it as funny as we did. My friend actually got grounded for that.
We didn't even steal a drop. We replaced every drop we took out but his dad was pissed because he had put so much effort into tracking every mile & every gallon.
He did get an average for the 6 weeks or so that we were doing that but he was still pissed. lol I still think it's funny 30 years later. If I recall we got the idea from a movie & decided to pull that prank on his dad.
lol good one, I would have beat some ass
That IS funny!!
Awesome video Rick I learned a lot . I have no experience with this type stuff so thanks for educating me . And yes I noticed the rifle in the background.
The AR was the first thing I keyed into, Great lesson Rick I appreciate it. I have that same Pennzoil syphon had it for several years now, it's still packed away in the package. Thank You and have a great day....
Rick, I watched your video on painting flag on a roof, but that damn horse kicked the ladder and left you stuck up there..That has got to be the funniest video you ever made ..my wife and I were laughing so loud our kids came in our room wondering what was so funny.. thanks for sharing it..we love you ,man..keep em coming and we’ll keep watchin em! ..
What ive done in the past is put two tubes in the gas tank. A short one for me to blow in and a longer one to go down to the receiving gas tank. Holding a rag or two around the gas tank hole helps keep enough pressure in the tank to force it out of the nonblow hose. After blowing, keep your thumb on the mouth end to maintain the forcing-out pressure in the tank.
Siphons are good, but it's easier to carry a cheap 12 volt fuel pump and hose. This allows you to do a fast vehicle to vehicle or vehicle to container transfer and leave the area quickly.
It works good.
11:22 *"the longer your hose the better."* Indeed....
Indeed.
indeed.
Thats what she said
Hey pump people ; ) Thank you for explaining how siphon works, TLAC.
The red tip attachment for the pump is for air matress or any air filled object with a large enough hole
Can't understand why people have so much negative things to comment about. Here's a tip if you don't like Rick's video's than don't watch them! Nobody is forcing you to come to his channel and nobody want's to read your whining about every little thing you don't like.
Smoky looks when you call him Batman, awesome.
Thank you sir. I appreciate showing the use of your Pennzoil siphon 👌👌👌
sat in my barn for a while with a garden hose and a can of water got used to it until I tried takin gas outta my old quad and got a mouthful of gas. definitely recommend using clear tubing that shit dosent taste good
Great tips. Thanks.
I like how you're willing to fail and not whine about it. So many others blame everything else! Ya learn better this way! Good job 👍.
Also, if you have compressed air, you can just take your air nozzle and blow air at the end of the hose, perpendicular to the hose. That will create a venturi vacuum at the end of the hose, thus pulling fluid into the hose to get the flow started. That's what I do at work. Works pretty well.
Damn Rick, you're everywhere! 😂 But great vid. You answered all the questions I came on here to look for. Also I like the trick of throwing the whole hose and using your thumb to block air. Beats sucking on gas.
You can take the free end of a hose and whirl it around, which will pull a vacuum in the line. The downside is when you get fluid flow, it slings crap everywhere.
Whenever I use a can of air, Harvey thinks another cat is hissing at him and runs off to hide.
Or maybe a snake hissing?
awesome video. thanks!
I just need to syphon old gas, out of my motorcycle. These are very useful tips.
pull the fuel line, and drain the tank, that is easiest way to get gas out
I think I like the shaker, easiest to use.
Thanks very informative I'm going to pick up that safety siphon keep up the good work
Thanks. I'm trying to get the gas out of my camaro since I'm about to trade it in and it's only been a few days since I topped off. I'll be damned if I trade in another car with a full gas tank
Joe morales Why worry? The dealer will be ripping you off way more than a tank of fuel.
Amen
The siphon at 4:40 with the red squeeze bulb has a screw cap the you open to let air in and stop the siphon. I have some that are still fine from the '90s, keep it out of the sun and it should last for a long time. I keep kerosene heaters for emergency heat if the power goes out. Use the siphon pumps to fill them.
I am pretty sure the filler nozzles for modern gas powered cars is 1 3/16 inches so your hose needs to be no bigger than that to fit in gas tanks.
good tip thanks
Thanks mate this was a great help
One of the advantages of having a smaller hose, specifically if you intend to use it on another __CAR__. Most vehicles made after 2002 have anti-siphon plate in the fuel throat leading into the gas tank. If you have a small enough hose you can pass through the grate ... but... starting around 2005, manufacturers started using a "rollover" gate, aka a ball inside the feeder throat. These are VERY hard to siphon past, if not impossible. Best way around them... go straight to the source and cut into the tank, or if you can, into the fuel pump receptacle (often located under back seat or under trunk's trim.)
Good info! Have a nice day!
thanks for the tip.. im homeless and Was on E.. went looking around for a parking lot got a full gas tank now
JustSomeGuy bitch im homeless
Damn... How are you on UA-cam?
VENADO MAZISO my boy i got the trap phone
Jose Aguilera ballin
VENADO MAZISO the struggle g
Excellent tutorial. Great choices you' ve given us.
Good one Rick, where I come from, we call the siphon hose a Kentucky credit card
Honest person here! I have just been properly schooled! Thank you so much! My car is running like crap & a friend told me to get some fuel cleaner- took forever to get here from Amazon & I had no idea my tank needed to be almost empty to use it. I just filled my tank! Does Smokey always hang out with you in your workshop? Cool cat!
Thanks Rick. Added the last one with the brass base to my TBL (to buy list) on Amazon.
I love your method using a longer hose and holding the tip dragging it out that is awesome. Now this is not for stealing but i think if you're going to use this on vehicles salvaging a smart method is to cutn bottom of a funnel to hold initial security feature open then to bypass secondary security feature use larger hose push down till you hit the security stopper then pull back an inch then insert a quarter inch that goes inside of your larger tube and presto You are past both security features and there is also the battery powered siphons that I find very useful and clean You wanna get creative and you're looking to be Quick when you're out salvaging anyways all in all thank you very much for your tutorial You helped me out...
A safety siphon? Damn Rick, you bought something with ''safety'' in the title. Dropped the ball on that one.
We use that same red Home Depot one at work to siphon kerosene out of the metal barrels, its a few years old and still holding up, not crazy about it tho, you can screw/unscrew the clear nut on top of the red pump to control or stop your flow.
yea I think that is where I got that one is at hm depot.
thanks rick
i personally wouldn't want to get an entire hose coated in gasoline (but ok for water) . Thank you for demo-ing all these different products and methods. I really appreciate it.
tape a straight piece of a metal clotheshanger to outside of hose to keep it straight
Thank you for this video!!
I only knew how to siphon by sucking out using the mouth, this has given me so many options that does not involve drinking petrol 🤢
❤ Thank you sir ❤
Those kinks in a hose I can't remember what it was car truck snowmobile my brother made me go get the blow dryer for kink 😁
The simplest method you demonstrated is how i clean my fish tanks. I hope i never have to siphon fuel. lol
I gave you a thumbs up and was gonna watch this. But I wrote the book on this when I was in High School. lol. Oh on a note, gas was only 30 cents a gallon then. But it is all relative.
thanks for the tip! learned something new
Good things to kno. Thanks for the video Rick.
At 7:55 - I had a liquid transfer pump similar to that one. I'm not sure if it was Pennzoil or not, probably not, but it worked fine after I bought it but after one use it sat on the shelf for about 12 or so months and wouldn't work anymore.
Really helpful 👍
Great class!
Dude lol wtf? I literally drove by a gas station two hours ago and for some reason I thought about if I had to siphon gas from a vehicle, just got home, top recommended video is this, says it posted two hours ago...
Give me some of what you're smokin, oh it is gasoline, lol. If it makes you that happy, keep on siphoning.
Hey Rick, I think you did good..! F@#k those haters gotta be negative all the time..
It’s a crime now, but when Mad Max happens... 👌🏻 finna get me a fuck ton of guzzoline.
Stay in school kid
Dad why stay in school when I can just do meth?
@@JJunkAFunk Sure if you don't mind having rotten teeth and messed up skin and possibly some psychotic symptoms.
Good demos and tips. Thanks
Anyone here because of the gas storage in the south ? 😂
Me wassup buddy over here in Oxford Alabama 😂
I have the 1 with the little black bulb. it leaks when I use it on gasoline. Gasoline is a less dense, lighter liquid than water and I think that has something to do with it leaking. Plus it's cheap cheap.
Excellent explanation. I get it thanks
Excellent Video.. good work
I love the A-R just silently hanging around in the background lol
I'm amazed that it didn't shoot anyone!
Dam, I'm blind!! Didn't even see the dam thing!!
Listening this without actually looking at the video is the funniest shit ever 😂😂 just sounds soo wrong LMAO
LoL I was driving just hearing without looking and found myself crying...it's like porn hearing comedy
@@abelv3415 bruh right on lmaoooo its str8 porn parody all the way till the end i was dying hearing my friends watch this in the other room 🤣☠
problem is the anti siphon check valve in the gas tank fill nozzle.
Awesome video
Any body else have to pee after watching the video?
Lol, I remember during the fuel crisis during the early 70's when on the nightly news they always reported the rash of people going to emergency rooms from gas poisoning because of siphoning/ stealing gas.
also, if you're going to steal gas from an RV, make sure you put the hose in the gas tank and not the septic tank as one unfortunate criminal discovered once...
LMAO! That's hilarious! Instant karma!
OMG!
should put a metal weight on the end of the hose to keep in from popping up.
I have the penzoil pump, it is actually very good. I use it to drain fluids from places like my Transfer cases and then can use the same pump to pump in the new fluids. I have also used it to drain and flush out a power steering res that someone put brake fluid in, and I use it when flushing my radiator and coolant res. Good little pump, can do things a syphon can not.
Probably not going to need one in your car. Since my 1999 Silverado I have not had a vehicle that you can siphon out of because the screen they put at the mouth of the tank.
That second pump is for kerosene heaters so you open the little knob on top to stop the flow so you don’t get it all over the shop floor.
Great video!
Very informative.
good video. Unfortunately a lot of vehicles now put a blocker in the filler neck so you can't fish a line down to siphon/steal gas
Octobert we have a 2013 Ford Focus that was totaled. Before they tow it we want to retrieve some gas back from it. How do we find out it has that blocker before going to the store and buying stuff
@@veronicafuentes022 Yeah, it has it. Most cars have had it since the late 90s. If you want to get at the gas you'll probably need to bypass the neck by removing or cutting the filler hose near the tank to siphon. I read somewhere that you might be able to use a small tube to bypass the mechanism in the filler neck (maybe a 1/4 inch tube) but I've never tried it and have my doubts to it working. Sorry to hear about your car. Good luck
Octobert thanks for your help. Yeah we couldn’t get it through. Even the tow guy helped and mentioned the blocker. We could have tried another way but not worth the hassle.
Is it really a coincidence that the leader in The Walking Dead zombie apocalypse's name is Rick? I think not.
lol and he was a cop
This was a great video idea!
Did he say siphoning run?
An Old G. 🤣😂🤣
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you!
Great info!
Genius, thank you so much
I watched this video hoping you where going to show how to get a Siphon on a newer model vehicle. I got a lot out of this Video but I found this Siphon kit called the Gastapper. I don't know if you where aware of The Gastapper, I thought I would turn you on to it. I'm sure I will be making my own version. Thanks Rick. I enjoy all of your Videos. Keep it Up.
Didn't know there's many ways! Nice
Hey Mokie!
Good tutorial.
Don't know how I missed this one.
I have one of these beneath my front seat. Right next to my gun safe bolted to the floor.
I just swallowed two gallons of bad gas I'm burping fumes, if I would have just watch this video 10 minutes ago
Good info!
The m4 in the background tho.....murica XD
How often do you siphon gas? Haha awesome info by the way
thank you i'll use this tommorrow as i'm giving my car away to pbs
Buy some food dye so you can give the horses pink cookies and show internet people syphon tips
Try that on your ford truck buddy. There is a check ball at the bottom of your filler neck and won't let your hose past.
I'm surprised there are no ads 🤔
Now there is
Hang those hoses up overnight with weight on the lower end. It'll straighten em out.
good luck trying to use any of those gadgets to remove gas from todays vehicals.
Ice Tea be up in these hose
you can soak hose in hot water, or put in microwave for 10 sec. at a time while
flipping it and rotating ! both methods work..
Used your idea for this hurricane I'm dealing with for my generator
The Yellow and black pump does not work on gas There are 2 thin rubber gaskets That melt away if you use gas.. And like most cars and trucks you will need a good length of hose to reach the bottom of the tank..And hope there is no blocker
Hey Rick, what about getting gas with a siphon hose from a tank that has a stop valve or "y"., d.H.. pumping gas from a gas pump in a gas station no prob., but with a siphon hose can't get it in to the fuel tank. some type of valve does not allow the siphon house into the fuel.
drill hole in Plastic tank and drain
