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

gas

How about undoing the fuel line up front and using the fuel pump to get the extra gas out.

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

35 or 40 burnouts will do the trick
