Gasoline is a central nervous system destroyer. Never siphon gas this way.

Also, nice tits.

I unfortunately tried this as a teen. Didn't work, and you would have to breathe in the entire tube of vapor before you can expect to get any liquid out. Was instantly nauseous and had a headache for a few days. Everytime I see an actor do this I get pretty triggered. What a strange trope.

Uhh... you aren't supposed to inhale it.
You suck the air into your mouth, then evacuate that out your nose.
Repeat, until fuel in mouth.

If you'd like to show me how to do, I'll gladly watch that video. I'd recommend a vintage gasoline from the late 2000s, diesel if you're nasty.

I mean... No?
I'm going to be shallow and judgemental here, and guess you are at least a generation younger than I am.
I grew up in the 80s, and had to siphon gas many times between cars and motorcycles and lawnmowers and whatever else. And yes, that includes diesel.
Its not rocket science, but I can understand the confusion if you haven't had to do it before.

I've found that a lot of people literally don't know how to do this. There's a significant percentage of people out there drinking from straws with their goddamn lungs

Man, we’ve been doomed for a long time, haven’t we.

Watched my dad do it once. Sucked until he hit gas and spit it out, wild shit.

Just drink some water and dilute it man, you’ll be fine in six to eight days.

If it's going to be a skill issue just use this

[–] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

You can also shove the tube almost all the way into the tank, cover the end with your thumb, and then pull it out a foot or so, and start the siphon that way. Assuming the tank is relatively full, that is.

Also great for enhancing your size, fellas.

She looks like she has the skills.

[–] Mister_Hangman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Fuck I wish my hose had gas at the end of it that I can offer up.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 7 points 1 week ago

Agreed. Nice tits.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Agreed. It’s much safer and less conspicuous to produce negative pressure in your rectum

I’ve been wondering if putting most of the tube in the tank and then covering up the hole with your thumb would be adequate in pulling up liquid to begin the siphon process.
