Is it possible to siphon gasoline from my 1999 Cadillac Sedan Deville? I tried pushing in a garden hose but it never made it to the tank. Are their too many bend or is there a restriction? Thanks for any help. Mark ---

I think most vehicles have an anti-siphon device in the filler pipe. You shouldn’t siphon gas anyway. It’s WAY too dangerous. ---

A garden hose is too big. You need plastic or rubber tubing with a smaller diameter, maybe 3/8" ID. There really shouldn’t be a problem. ---

That hose it too big and it may not do well with gasoline. Gasoline has a habit of dresolving many types of plastics. I would suggest buying a gas can and gas.
