Get some compressed air , either an air compressor or one of those portable air tanks and put a siphoning hose into the tank . Put the nozzle for the air in the filler neck and stuff a rag around the filler neck to keep all of the air from coming out . Squeeze the nozzle and when the tank becomes pressurized , the gas will come out of the siphoning hose . Once the gas comes out you can stop pressurizing and let gravity do the rest .

That was the one.......I knew it used air from the compressor somehow......I was probably just gonna blow bubbles in the tank my way........ :<br>Thanks Howie!!!!!<br>Chris

I forget where i got it but there is actually a hose out there that has a marble in the end of it an if you stick that end in the gas tank an shake it, it acts as some sort of pump and works like a charm. After gas comes out it works the same as a siphon.

My father had one of those syphon tubes that you just stick into the tank and shake it and it once the gas come out it would take over. The tube had a check valve in one end and when you pushed the tube into the gas it would fill the tube a little each time. took about 30-40 seconds and your getting gas. I believe i herd it called a Texas credit card once.

I saw a bunch of ads for those when searching for the tip that I ONLY found here... ........for $20 you can choose from a bunch of em.<br>BTW the compressor worked great......<br>I couldn't get the hose I had in far enough to really draw well, but as long as I held the air to it the gas flowed...<br>I was able to draw a gallon out...... plenty to plow with...<br>The 41 Farmall is a miser..<br>Thanks again for the help<br>Chris<br>
