My dad has so many old school stories of siphoning petrol back in the 70s.

I thought most cars these days have anti-siphon designs, which also function as rollover/spill protection.

which reminds me, that full heating oil tank sitting in my garage is now worth more than some cars I’ve owned. I should probably keep the garage door locked.

I saw the gas cap open on a car today in my estate and was wondering if someone tried this shite

Any fans of Trailer Park Boys will know this already.
Aren’t there anti siphon devices in modern fuel tanks?

Would this still work on say a truck parked on the motorway?

You could just use a non reverse syphon, basically just a ball bearing enclosed in the tube.

Know a few brazen career criminals involved with well known murders who tried doing this to a wealthy retail park owner I knew. Trucks were parked there in the car park and they tried coming in doing this. Retail owner rang guards but before garda came was there with shot gun and had them locked in
Both heating oil tanks were emptied at the parents place

When we were growing up we had cars to rally around the fields, back when you could pick up a 90s car for €100 still taxed and NCT’d. But we ran out of petrol in one of the cars so I went to siphon it out of another. All I got were fumes and a great ole time! 10/10 don’t siphon petrol

I did this a few times from my dad’s car to fill up my moped back around ’00 when I was short on cash.
I’d siphon some petrol and fill up the moped and then go and ask for a fiver for petrol and spend the fiver on beer and smokes. You’d get three cans and 10 smokes for a fiver back then. He never noticed.
