What are you using?
I need something easier than funnel s and the balancing act

Super Siphon, similar to this (not a recommendation for the site, just the product).
We had several of the squeeze-ball or accordion squeeze types fail; use them once and a chemical breakdown seems to start up; a few months later they're ripe to fail. |

The best siphon depends on what you're siphoning out of...
Some vehicle gas filler necks are too twisty and convoluted to accommodate thick hose, so a thin piece of semi-rigid tubing may be the best choice. I carry 6 feet of 1/4" icemaker water line for this purpose. Other vehicles will accept thicker hose, which provides a much faster siphon. I carry 3/8" clear vinyl hose for this purpose. To get the siphon started, an outboard motor fuel primer squeeze bulb works great - Loosely slip it over the end of the hose, give it a few squeezes to draw fuel into the hose, and then remove it as soon as the siphon is working. The Atwood brand of squeeze bulb is sold at most Wal-Marts - costs about 6 bucks. Note that a squeeze bulb may not produce any suction unless it is held in the proper position -and it'll probably be marked to show this position. |
. This just solved a logists problem for me.
