Disconnect a fuel line, (at the fuel filter for example) put a bucket under the line, and turn the key so the fuel pump engages. Seems to me this would work (in theory). SOmeone correct me if Im wrong.

Never siphon gas with your mouth, if that's what you were trying to do. I'm sure a lot of people have done it, but they shouldn't.

the gas is not the prob it is the vapors from the gas. but in the small amount u get you would have to do it 5-10 times a day my father is a doctor and that is what he told me and some guys from his work were saying so i would have to take there word on it.
