Siphoning is the easiest thing (I have to do it regularly at work). Use a clear hose (so you don't get a faceful of nasty fish water) and suck on the hose (or your fist over the end of the hose) such that the level of water in the hose is below the level of water in the tank....gravity does the rest.

why are you siphoning water out of gas tanks?

Good luck siphoning out of a newer car. It's not an easy feat.

Someone else mentioned this. Why is it more difficult?

They have devices now that prevent gas from coming back up in a rollover which also prevent a tube from being inserted down the line into the tank.

There was a kid that use to go to my school (he got kicked out because he said that cheerleaders were sex toys and there for guys to jack off too...a$$hole....) who wrecked an '05 Mustang GT, got a 3000GT, and then another '05 Mustang...If he was still at school, yeah, I'd do it...But not to anyone else (and only because he was a complete a$$hole)

That sums it up for me.

Where can I buy these water powered cars? That'd save a ton on my gas bill!

It's only $3.08 for 91 octane V-Power. Not worth the fine for inevitably being caught with all of those security cameras, IMHO.

No. I don't want to be stolen from, therefore I cannot justify stealing.

Morality really is that easy.

WTF were they drinking the gas? There would have to be more syanide then gas for it to be deadly with the small amount you get when spiting out the gas.
