Question **How do I get my gas out of my car?**

My Mazda 626 broke down and it has a full gas tank. I have a Oldsmobile '98 Royal and I am out of gas, money, and I'm tring to get a job, but I need gas to get there. How can I get the gas out of the Mazda and into the Oldsmobile? Please Help!!!!

Thank You Very Much,
Tabitha Wright

Siphoning is getting to be a lost art. Just make sure the discharge is into a container that is lower than the donor car gas tank: you can't siphon fluid from one car to another unless the receiving car is slightly lower.

Try walking to get the job. Find one close to home that way if it happens again where you have no car then you can stil make money. I could siphon gas outtta my explorer into my camaro easily. But i run 89 in the explorer so yeah that'd be bad.

If the Mazda is fuel injected, it should have a Schrader valve (think valve stem for a tire) up on the fuel rail. Hook up a line to it and run the other end to the Olds gas tank. Turn the Mazda's key to the run position and the Mazda's electric fuel pump should pump the tank dry.

I did that on my moms minivan during the hurricanes here in florida when we ran out of gas, takes forever

just watch when its comming down the tube and syphon it if you can.
