Hi guys,
My fuel pump died this morning, so I have spent half the morning organising to fix it up. I firstly need to empty the fuel tank. My trusty gregory manual has let me down on this one, it just says to siphon it - yeah but how? When I was down at supercheap, I got a little cheap siphon pump. You just squeeze the little bulb and its supposed to suck it out. The hose reaches the petrol, but it doesnt want to come out. So I asked my old man, hes a farmer and is used to sucking it through a hose. I tried a couple times, but the fuel would come out for that suck and wouldnt continue. So I got him to try, he has had a lot of practice, and he couldnt get it. Im going to assume there is an anti-siphon device in there stopping me. So how do I empty my tank???
