siphoning gas
No I'm not looking to beat the high gas prices!!!!!
There is an upcoming indoor show that I want to attend. They will only allow 1/4 tank of gas in the car. Has anyone had any problems siphoning gas from a c5? Will the siphon tube fit all the way down the filler to the tank?
Thanks

or if you have access to a lift, unbolt the fuel pump and go that route, i did that to install a pump, just make sure you have something to catch it, or drive your car around for a while

... you cant siphone all the gas out through the filler neck due to the two gas tanks.

I agree - may be hard siphoning it out from dual tanks. Best to either drive it around until it gets down to the desired level or unhook a hose.
