this way you don't have to worry about anti syphon devices and snaking a hose down the fuel fill cap. all fuel tanks fill from the bottom. if you syphon from the fill cap the first few gallons you may get is water. syphon from the top and you get only good fuel.


I wonder.
I guess this is possible theoretically but I would think that there would be signs that this occurred. does the vent cap and the fiberglass next to it look normal? I would expect some subtle signs that this had been removed and replaced
