but the new vehicles have anti-siphon baffles.

There are ways around that. I won't own a vehicle that I can't siphon a gallon of gas from for the lawnmower.

1/0 copper cable a couple of feet long gets rid of the baffle. Or has so far.

Thanks for the tip, Johnny. I hadn’t considered that. I have a few feet of old oxyacetylene hose that I use for siphoning, it’s thinner and sturdier than anything else I have used, but I sure couldn’t get it past the baffles.

Will see if your copper cable idea can defeat them (thanks alot, trial lawyers, or whoever made them mandatory!).

We usually have 3 or 4 cars in the driveway when we are in ‘hunker down’ mode, and I would like to be able to rely on them as a fuel source for the generator.
