k.warren Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I need to siphon gas from my 2000 LX470 to fill the lawnmover tank. Has anyone successfully done this?
mscott Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 search on mud. ih8mud.com, unless you're the dude who already ask over there! less technical over here...
91L3xus Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Take a forklift or crane, strap your vehicle to it, open the gas door, remove the cap, and tilt the car at an angle as to where the gas pours from the tank into the complete pointlessness of this thread. Just buy another gallon of gas, if you're serious. If you're not, then I don't know what to say. :whistles:
dougjohn2 Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 no, don't bother with IH8MUD.com go to general discussion forum at www.pirate4x4.com -- ask the question there. you should be able to find someone who can help.
bartkat Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Whatever you do, don't try to suck it out. Just get one of those hoses with the accordian plastic pump thingie on it and siphon away.
91L3xus Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 This is a classic. ← Lol... How so my good man?
BCON Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I need to siphon gas from my 2000 LX470 to fill the lawnmover tank. Has anyone successfully done this? ← Well, I was driving a 25' Penske truck cross country towing my LX470 on a flat-bed trailer. I was trying to stop as little as possible to make good time. Somewhere in West Texas, I pulled into a town with both of its gas stations out-of-business, kind of a ghost town I guess. Knowing I was beyond the point of no return, I went on, hoping for the best, but running out of gas with the rig. No problem, I had all my garage stuff packed into the back of the moving truck. Garden hose cut, random container found and emptied, I determined after some time that the siphoning was just not going to happen. Strange thing, my Verizon call-anywhere-in-the-US plan works anywhere except West Texas, where they demand a credit card number to connect. Two 15 dollar, one minute calls confirmed that I was not going to get help anytime soon, so I ended up unloading the LX470 and driving it to the closest gas station to pick up a container of gas. I'd recommend you to do the same thing for your lawnmower.
indiasfinest Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 how bout just buying a gallon of gas from a gas station?
SKperformance Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 This is a classic in that i will remember for a long time about the person who came on the forum to ask about a high end vehicle in order to remove a few cents worth of gas to refill a lawn mower ,rather than the obvious of filling a normal gas can for it.
91L3xus Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 LOL. What's next, "I need gas for the weed-wacker, how can I get it out of the Rolls Royce?"
indiasfinest Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 lol good one!! but i dont think he appreciates the critiscm no hard feelings man...just trying 2 have a good laugh...
Leroy Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I'm pretty sure it has never been done, you can set history!
Steve Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I suggest members pay attention to the forums rules http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...?act=boardrules K.Warren asked a question which was a serious question.. not bait for everyone to make fun of his question.

Now for the story.. My neighbor across the street puts his lawnmower in the back of his pickup to get it filled with gas. Go figure !!! :D
