Super Siphon Modification

Spring time and time to transfer 40 gallons of winter stored fuel from the boat into containers for subsequent use in vehicles. Out comes the super siphon but it won't go into the boat tank. The filler hose is an overshot on a plastic tank nozzle and the end of the siphon won't pass the nozzle lip after making a bend or two in the filler hose.

I cut the flared mouth section off and dressed it up with file. It went in easily. No ill effects on siphon action that I could tell. It emptied the boat tank and transfered some from 5 gallon cans to the jeep with no problem.

Hmm... very nice. Maybe i need to do that mod to mine. I can't siphon my own fuel out because i have a dual filler neck. May be the problem.. worth a shot trying.

Thanks for posting.
