Is it possible...
with the dual fuel tank setup, to siphon gas out of a C5?
Can one drain out a bad tank of fuel? How?
Can't find any answers to this question anywhere. However, I thought that I read somewhere that there was some sort of baffle or screen in the fuel fill neck that prevents passage of a siphon tube.

I believe the gas is transfered by a passive pump (eductor type) that functions by using the discharge of the motorized fuel pump. I can't quote the source right now, but I think I remember reading that you can not siphon gas out of the passenger-side fuel tank.
As far as solving your issue, I'm sorry I can't help. Maybe someone else will chime in, so here's qa TTT for you. Good Luck.
