so I'm working on Ralphs interior and the bullet tank was in the way....I was doing everything at all costs to avoid removing it because it was 3/4 full.....but it had to come out.
so I found myself some hose and attempted to siphon it out and failed miserably. I inhaled and swallowed a mouthful of gas....I coughed and gagged for a good 30 minutes.....drank a ton of water and forced myself to vomit....repeated that several times.
now anything I drink or eat tastes like gas....I'm still really green....and I'm burping a lot and it tastes/smells like gas fumes.
I've siphoned salt water many times out of fish tanks with no issues and didn't think twice about trying it with gas.....I wont ever do that again. I see buying myself an electric pump in the near future.

Bummer dude. I say lets have some fum and put a lit match in front of your month and let out a big burp and see if you can be a human flame thrower. J/K

$10.00 siphon hose with check valve is well worth it, even if it only gets used once!
-
Ya the taste of gas totally sucks but I have never gone as far as swallowing a mouth full of gas. You"re a boat racer, you jumped out of an airplane, and now you drank gasoline. Man I cant wait to see whats next! ;D

Now tell us the truth, you were at your neighbours house getting fuel for the boat... right?

I have a couples electric pump with a couple tubes for $35.00 New in Box. Maybe trade for some decals. After using them I can't go without em.

Hey Brad-
Drink Milk- Coates the stomach-

I used to have an old carter electric fuel pump with jumper connectors spliced on. I'm planning on buying one from blue when I get the bimini drama worked out. It will take a day or two to get rid of the burps. I remember many a time siphoning gas out of the family daycruiser to make ends meet till mom or dad's payday when I was growing up!!!

Harbor freight has a squeeze bulb siphon tube setup I bought a few days ago for less than 5 bucks. Worked really well for me when I was debugging my tanks.
Thank god for you they don't have MTBE in the gas anymore, severe neurotoxin that is water soluble.
Don't do that again. Spend the time to do it right and live longer.
Here i found it http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93290
