Get ready to laugh ok so i went to syphon the gas out my boat and used those hoses with brass or copper end with a ball in it guess what it got hung up on somethingi tried deeper, spinning it, jogging back n forth and it came free. But with no brass end my tanks r glassed in how can i try n get it out. After u guys get done laughing helpful thaughts would be appreciated 

Leave it...About the only way I can even think to get it out would be to luck out with one of those little grabber delios, but if you get it out, go buy a lottery ticket.

Buy another one, because your chances of getting it our are very slim.

im not worried about the damb syphon im worried it will corrode or plug up my fuel pick up

No,no,no, I meant buy another boat

If the siphon is like the one I have it's copper with a plastic ball inside, not likely to cause any problems.

find someone with really skinny arms...

















to pull out your fiberglass tanks and put in a set of aluminum tanks for ya.

I read it as he had metal tanks glassed in....

Just leave it be. Scarey thought, but probably not the only "foreign" matter in there, and will be the least of it........The fuel pickup will NEVER be able to suck that puppy up off the floor of the tank.

As far as what the hose got hung up on in the first place, however, COULD have been the pickup tube or sending unit floats, and THAT might be a concern requiring removal (Or cutting a big hole in the hull) if your yanking on the hose damaged them.
