Default Siphoning petrol

How easy is it to do? I've got half a tank of NUL in a Fiesta which is currently sorned. I have another car I could transfer it into. Is it just a bit of tubing give it a suck and off you go as in 70's sitcoms, or a bit more tricky?

easy to do use a bit of tubing but make sure it goes lower than the tank on the outside..feed it into the tank suck and quickly lower the pipe to continue the flow into a vessel or even better buy a petrol syphoner from a motor spares store like bms for a few pound

Hehe it's funny you guys say that, i remember the last time i accidentally sucked with the lungs, the fuel was all over the floor i was choking and was nearly out cold on the floor.

Thanks for reminding me guys that made me chuckle.
