    Need Some gas siphoning help

    I know some of you guys siphon you gas every spring. Did a quick search and couldn't really find the procedure on how its done... I have a 2008 Ranger Z21 that has been sitting for about a year. I'm pretty sure I stabilized it but my memory is crap nowadays so I'd like to drain the gas before I take her out. I purchased all the tools ( siphon, extention tubing, gas can ) my question is, is there a anti siphon valve going from the tank fill to the gas tanks or do I have to pull the seats and access the tanks to get he gas out. Thanks for he help

    You can disconnect your gas line from the primer bulb and connect a longer hose to it and start a siphon into a gas can I do this work well.

    Use a clear vinyl hose so you wont gag yourself, you can watch the fuel coming.. Burn mine in the truck every spring. I disconnect the gas line at the tank fitting, Ive never had any luck using the primer bulb..

    I do this but connect hose to a fuel pump I bought from the auto parts store, gets the job done real quick.

    I pulled about 25 gallons just disconnecting the fuel hose and pump the bulb. It will siphon. Doesn’t take that long.

    If you don't have an anti siphon on your tank, you can use one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Siphon.../dp/B000BG1X54 They work well.
