WOW !!! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes... Found your channel about a week ago and am watching everyone of your videos. Thank You for Inspiring me.
Awesome I'm going to use this for fuel extraction on my old truck that's been sitting, way better than a hand pump siphon. Not to mention you can get just about every drop of old fuel with this setup!
Great idea to create the vacuum! Just fill the air compressor up with air, unplug it, and start the process. When the fuel is removed, I put a little Sta-Bil Fuel Stabilizer in the empty tank and crank the engine. The fuel stabilizer is burned up with any remaining gasoline vapors and cleans the carburetor at the same time. There will be no varnish to gum up the carburetor when fresh gasoline is added later. Starting the engine will be a breeze.
Aaaaaand here I go looking dumb AF again. It's one of those tricks that seems OBVIOUS...only once you've been shown. Thank you guys. Most definitely gonna use that to empty my water tanks on my mobile-blaster once the work is wrapped. Keep it up!
In the old days, we syphoned. A mouth full of gas puts hair on your body. That is also how you borrow gas when out in the boonies. Of course in my old age, I now plug one end of the tube, fill it with the appropriate liquid, stick the other end in an elevated tank and pull off the plug. I often use this technique when removing large quantities of water trapped in a tarp puddle.
I use "Stabil" gas treatmemt and have had zero issues with any of my gas operated equipment. Ive had my 10Kw generator since 2004 and have never drained the gas and it fires up every time. It has set for more than a year and still started a d ran great. I have had to replace the starting battery twice but not the gas. Try it. You will be happy you did.
This has been on my mind since I had a conversation with a guy 7 years ago. I asked if he had a vacuum and he pointed at his air compressor in his shop and said “I got so much compressed air, I could MAKE a vacuum” I never understood what the hell he meant by that until now.
Great idea, and very interesting. Do you have any ideas of the limitation of this please? Im thinking along the lines of "using a 20bar compeessor is equivalent to a 1000 watt ahop vacuum", that aort of thing.
Not sure if you'll see this but, can this work on a bigger scale with a leaf blower, 4"+ tubing and leaves? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. Thanks.
@@CajunCountryLivin thanks I tried using a 3” tube on each end of a 45 but couldn’t get suction. It is was injecting air at the outside opening. Do I need to be “inside” the other section?
Are you using a fitting like this? www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwivgrGXzuD6AhWMz4YKHZguBd4YABADGgJ2dQ&sig=AOD64_3kJFkCSXhqN1uh6_FpgRk4OtNpxQ&adurl&ctype=46&ved=2ahUKEwjx7KKXzuD6AhVbwikDHaPXAUEQzzl6BAgBEDI
This is a pretty smart trick. I thought you were going to just use the vacuum end of the compressor, with a filter bucket in the line. Instead, you created a vacuum using the compressed air itself, which is like a physics exploit. I wonder if it’s strong enough to suck lamination bags for epoxying carbon fiber, or if adding a tesla siphon valve thingy to prevent back flow would help enough to achieve a high vacuum in a container. :)

Great video Jim and Lydia
Venturi efect..!! Smart guy...!!

Glad we were able to help you get the fuel out of your truck. Let us know how it goes!

This is what I need to clean and remove water from my boat gas tank! Thank you guys for you video!!👏👏
Exactly right common sense. Any pump has got to both suck and blow. In and out. Good video how to save money

Very happy this video was helpful! 😁

Best idea I've seen in a long time. A gas sucking hootis!

this is so GENIUS! thank you!

Thanks for the advice! We will look into it for sure & let you know! 😁

Lamborghini Fam. Thx for Vid
cool video, nice work ✌️
Thank you!
Very helpful imagination, thanks!
Awesome, I would’ve pulley out the pipe underneath the tank to drain the tank but yours look like the faster version
Good idea
Thanks!
Great Idea, and we actually have all that stuff. ✅
We will Havt’ta try that out som time 😎 👍 🥳
Let us know how it works out for you! 🤜🤛😆
@@CajunCountryLivin we haven’t tried it yet, but when the need arises I’m sure
It will work out just fine..!! Just like it did for you. 😎
Great tip! Thanks
Nice. , ! Thank You
Add a little sea foam to your non alcohol gas and it will last a year. Thanks for sharing, good tip!
good idea
Pretty slick!
Thank you!
Pull the cord firmly on the compression stroke. Which might involve one, two or three light pulls to get to it. Thanks for the video.
Brilliant
Great idea I've got a snowblower with old gas
Good tip. I think I can use that to drain the oil out of my lawn mower. Thanks! 🙂
Great!! Happy to help 😁
My daddy always said, first step to add fuel is to clean top generator! I guess you missed that step! Haha!
Good idea!!!!
great, I see this video right after I ran my truck for 9 days running both tanks empty. I could have used that gas in my other truck...
Nice video and the little one is as cute as the dickin's !
Not sure if you'll see this but, can this work on a bigger scale with a leaf blower, 4"+ tubing and leaves? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. Thanks.
Yes it will work. It simply creates a vacuum force. Leaf blower should give you plenty of volume. “CFM”
@@CajunCountryLivin thanks
