Just a little trick: hold the 2 side's of the tube up and fill up the tube with gas until its about 5 or 10 inches from the tops. Hold your thumb on 1 end and put the other end in your fuel tank so its in the fuel. Get the other side of the tube down to what your draining the fuel in and as soon as you release your thumb the fuel starts draining.
Or you could push the hose in more allowing it to fill. Cap the end with your thumb like most people learn with a soda straw as a kid. Pull it out and release into container .
This method works, is easy, and efficient. It's also 1000x faster than removing your whole tank. I did this today, w one difference. Instead of using my mouth, I have a basic suction tool a mechanic lent me. You push, it blows. You pull, it sucks. Put it on end of clear tubing (clear is important so you can see the gas beginning to flow), and sucked it into the tank. Took 5-7 cycles to get it near empty, which is fine bc I don't need it 100% empty as the new gas will fill the majority.
If you do to want to suck the hose (I wouldn't recommend it!) you can put another small hose into tank and create a seal round it with your hand and blow, the fuel will come out the long hose into your container 👍🏻
If you have a "prime" option on the petcock, a big syringe (have three that cost pennies, one for brake bleeding, one for fork oil measuring, one for fuel) attaching a long pipe to the petcock and the syringe to the other end means you can draw the air out of the pipe until you get fuel coming through, then just let it pour into your fuel can.
Hi, Great video! I have a question for you.. Today I fill the tank of my motorcycle by mistake with regular gas. I should always use premium gas. Should I empty the tank and add premium gas? Thanks
You can go to an auto parts store and buy octane and add it to your fuel to raise it. For example this one linked. There are many different kind of brand name ones.. like STP. www.amazon.com/104-10406-Octane-Boost-Fl/dp/B000LNUIUI/ref=asc_df_B000LNUIUI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312141533517&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18113762388569511440&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007332&hvtargid=pla-556776787637&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61941536837&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312141533517&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18113762388569511440&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007332&hvtargid=pla-556776787637
what about the reserve tank? isn't there still some gasoline that can't be siphoned since it's the tiny amount of gas needed to ignite the starter? will that cause damage if it's maybe bad from about 10 years of sitting?
@@darrenmartinez5164 yes, a friend who know his stuff also helped me with pointers. The bike is fine after doing what the video is showing here. Maybe having a can of fresh gas to at least get you far enough is a good idea because it did die on me on the way to the gas station. Hope that helps.
That was horrible..!!! You can do the exact same thing without doing the "sucking"..😂 just push the hose in and plug the hose with your thumb. Pull out like plugging a straw. And "release". You sir are a genius

instruction not clear i drank all the gasoline

just like a mcdonalds straw

I was just thinking that. How we used to bleed water levels at college
I wasn't fast enough and drank the tank
I think you were too fast

I'll have my wife do the hose part while I hold the gas can
Smart
We all know how good your wife is at sucking
🤣🤣🤣
If you do to want to suck the hose (I wouldn't recommend it!) you can put another small hose into tank and create a seal round it with your hand and blow, the fuel will come out the long hose into your container 👍🏻
Or even better, they got hand crank pumps that already do that for you. I hope this can help some one who reads this.

Excellent! Exactly what I needed to k I was my tank is leaking slowly and I need to drain it
Also for gsxr riders like myself the sucking part is extremely easy it’s wha we were meant to do
great video.
Same idea to change water for the fishtank
You can use the fuel pump to pump it empty put a hose on it and it goes.
Plain and simple 😊
Thank you
What cleaner is great to unclog an idle injector for a Kaiwi concurs 2002 with only 600 miles?
Screw driver lightly tapping it. And brake fluid
@@nihonkokusai Thanks for your response. I didn't clarify that the jet is left in the bike as I am not a mechanic.
Hell Yeah. Thanks
What about the fumes?
Appreciate it

Or you can empty some fuel out and top it off with premium. And don't ride it rough till you get a new full tank.
Mcfgotmillk Thank you ! I will follow your recommendations! 👍🏼
Hmmmm...i would trade it in and buy a new one....engine is probably damaged...
Suck until gas is there, pinch hose by mouth with pliers, lower end to tank, remove pliers. Should work. No hurry to get hose in can without spilling.
what about the reserve tank? isn't there still some gasoline that can't be siphoned since it's the tiny amount of gas needed to ignite the starter? will that cause damage if it's maybe bad from about 10 years of sitting?
did you ever get an answer to this?

physics are sweet
Well i just drank a bunch of gas
Taste yummy right?!
Smells just as good as it tastes
You opened the gas tank cap and let the keys smash onto your tank 😳
It happens
😂
Oh dear
Wow that is easy
IF YOU DONT HAVE A HOSE LIKE THIS USE THE HOSE OF YOUR SHOWERHEAD
It doesn't work. never mind i got it.
That was horrible..!!! You can do the exact same thing without doing the "sucking"..😂 just push the hose in and plug the hose with your thumb. Pull out like plugging a straw. And "release". You sir are a genius
And get gas fucking everywhere
I bought the hand pump type. Useless. Should have watched this first. Thanks.
When in doubt, suck it out 😂
3:34 Voice crack ;)
Its called siphoning gas. WTF??????
It would be million times better just to leave the camera in front of you and the bike.
You just want to watch a man suck on a hose.
No no no….
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is a bad idea, I tried it and there were gas fumes that I inhaled lmao
Oh no really? In the tubing?
That's the best part
