I was running low on gas when i was riding my Z so i fugured i would syphon some gas from my blaster to the Z. i got a hose and attempted to syphon the gas. I couldnt get it to flow at first so i tryed sucking a little longer. i got a little gas in my mouth and it tasted pretty bad. the last time i did it i sucked a bit too long tho... MAN IS THAT A BAD TASTE! my gosh... first thing once it happened my eyes started watering really bad and my head started hurting. i felt a little dizzy. its a horrible taste. anyone know what im talking about. sorry. kinda a random thread. lol. i think i swallowed some of the premium. blehhhhhhhh. now evertime i burp i can taste it. nasty... i dont mind the smell of gas but this is bad!

 

lmmfao i know exactly what you were going through i did that once when i was about 17 and i thought maybe if i went out and drank alot of beer that night it would get rid of the taste or at least i would get drunk enough where i didn't notice it well i was wrong. when i syphon gas now i blow in the hose first then suck and it will come through faster so when it gets about 6 inches from my mouth i pull off and the momentum of the gas is usually enough to keep it going.

 

"Looks like you picked a good day to quit smoking"

 

haha thats pretty funny....never has happend to me though...

 

lol, i used to have to do that, than i found this thing at my grndmas hosue that u stick into the gas tank and just pump it like a basketball pump and it syphons it into something else.

 

Ive done that a few times, now i only use a clear hose so you can see the gas.

 

When I was a kid it seemed like my dad was always siphoning gas from one old snowmobile to another. He would always get some in his mouth and he'd curse a little, spit a few times, take a few steps back and light up a Winston to get the taste out of his mouth.

 

...except i dont smoke....

I did hear about how blowing into the tube then sucking helps but that was just one day too late. lol

Ya, too bad it wasnt a clear tube.

I think what made it so bad is that if when i swallowed a little bit the first thing i did was cough and then spit out what I could and take a deep breath. Gas is very volatile so it evaporates very quickly and when you breath in the gas in your mouth vaporizes and fumes up your nose which burns. Oh well. It was worth getting the gas into my Z to ride longer.

 

yea thats why a clear tube helps...

 

obviously the tube has to be lower than the tank so gravity can do the rest...... duh??????
