![]() ![]() One solution is to make a copper ring and solder it to a copper pipe. Copper wire by itself probably won’t be strong enough to puncture through the screen. Because copper has high conductivity, it generally will not create sparks. And a spark could result in a massive fire!Ī good solution is to use copper. The problem is that metal-on-metal can create a spark. You’ll need something long and sharp to puncture the anti-siphon screen. I don’t recommend this because you could end up blocking the fuel outlet if any part of the screen falls into the tank. It is possible to break through the anti-siphon screen in a car. Your siphon hose will be able to reach some of the gasoline to siphon it out. Just park the car on a steep slope so the filler is downhill. It works because the anti-siphon screen is usually located quite far down the neck of the fuel filler pipe. If the car has an anti-siphon screen but does not have a rollover valve, then you can probably siphon most of the gas with this simple trick. ![]() How to Bypass Anti-Siphon Valve Method 1: Park on a Slope This valve is actually meant to keep gas from escaping the car in event of a rollover but it also prevents you from sticking a siphon hose in the tank – hence why it is often called the anti-siphon valve. The second device is a “rollover valve” located at the tank inlet. This is typically located higher up in the fuel filler pipe. It is a mesh screen that prevents you from putting anything solid into the gas tank. There are actually two devices that can prevent you from siphoning gas from a car. ![]() You will need to bypass this if you want to get fuel out of the tank. Unless you are trying to siphon gas from a really old car, chances are that it has an anti-siphon device. But wait – the car has an anti-siphon valve! A squeeze-bulb type siphon will make the job a lot easier. *Don’t use the old method of siphoning gas with your mouth! The risk of getting a mouthful of gasoline is simply too great. Squeeze the valve and it will suction the gas out of the tank and into your canister. Remember that siphons are one-way devices so make sure you put the right side of the hose into the tank. Stick the siphon hose into the tank and the other end into a fuel canister. Use the screwdriver to push the flap aside and hold it open. To bypass this, all you need is a long, skinny object like a screwdriver. The flap allows you to insert a hose in but will jam when you try to remove the siphon hose. Use screwdriver to push aside flap over filler pipeĪlmost all fuel pipes have a little metal flap over them. You can use a crowbar or the claw on the back of a hammer. Even if you don’t know how to pick a lock, it’s pretty easy to open the fuel door with brute force. You just need special tools, know-how and a lot of ingenuity. However, it is really difficult to siphon gas from modern cars because they have anti-siphon valves and devices in them. You could use the siphoned gas to fuel a generator or to refuel your vehicle during evacuation. While I definitely don’t recommend it, siphoning gas is a good skill to know for emergencies. ![]()
