Gas siphon

[MaxHTX]

Does anyone have a reliable product that they have used for gas siphoning for their 2021 expedition that does NOT include using your mouth?

I’m looking to get one in case of emergencies. There have been too many times we have run out of gas for our generator and cannot find any at gas pumps (because everyone is looking for gas in those situations) and it would have helped a lot to have a siphoning device.

Our biggest problem is trying to get one to fit past the opening of the tank. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

People don't have much luck just using a standard syphon system on the Expy's. I made up a small fuel pump assembly using a Holley electric pump and some 3/8" clear tubing. I wanted something simple enough for my wife to use if I'm not here. You can take power from a cigarette lighter port or use alligator clips direct to the battery of the vehicle . Works great and pumps fast enough. I added the switch, and I just store the whole rig with my extra gas cans and the generator.... I keep my boat full of fuel for such occasions ....

Great idea! But I need something that we don’t have to build and would be easy for me to use.

The anti-rollover valve also functions as an anti-siphon valve, i.e., it's hard to stick a hose into the tank. You'll have to build something with a small tube that can fit through it.

Could always just stock up on fuel at home? Nowadays it’s getting more and more difficult to siphon gas from vehicles. Proper planning for emergencies at home can easily fix this issue

I concur but tell my husband. Lol.

I bought a 12V Gas Tapper siphon pump. Haven't had to use it yet, still waiting for said emergency...

Gas Tapper. Comes PACKED in a hard case for easier storage in your truck, instructions included within. This should fit your bill.

Not in a hard case, but only about $20...
