My parts car had half a tank of gas I needed to drain. Thought I'd share a little trick to make a super quick and easy siphoner. Nothing revolutionary, but if you haven't seen this, it's good to know...

I took a piece of hose, and poked a hole in the side near one end. Put the other end in the gas tank. Stuck an air nozzle in the hole... Hit the air for a couple seconds to start the siphon, and dropped the end in a bucket. Viola.
