They make drain pans big enough to do the job. Not to worry, I use an oil drain pan.
Oops
Kinda hard to do it that way when the tank is only 2" deep.
Same here. So far, that hasn't stopped me from being smart.
Well I'm glad but there are a lot of twits that would read something like that, upend the mower behind the garage and dump the gas. Same as they do with oil when they do an oil chance on the car.
It occurs to me after reading the thread title about a million times each visit to SMC that it would be very hard for "everyone to forget how to syphon gas" if the majority never learned how to do it to begin with. "Back in the day" folks did things like that, but consider that pretty much every automobile produced in recent years has security measures to actually prevent syphoning and it's certainly not something that's likely covered in school either. I personally only ever did it once in my lifetime and I'm 62 years old...it was decades ago, too. That said, knowing how to syphon or not takes a backseat to knowing when and where "bad gas" can be a problem. Not many people know that either...

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.
The three most important words in the English language: "Front Towards Enemy".
The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.
You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.
Lee, apparently both your and my spelling is correct according to the spell checker. Gotta love English...

I guess I have no choice, but to change my e-mail from grumpyrick to girlyboy. Anybody want to swap out my tool bag for a nice stylish man purse?
