Used to keep the in-cab tank in my old Chevy company truck nearly full so I could draw gas for the generator, air compressor or any other gas equipment on the job. Beat heck out of hauling full gas cans to the site. Only had to haul diesel fuel cans.
Stuck a 1/2" diameter 6' hose in the fill neck and down into the tank, held a rag tightly around the hose/neck and just blew into the hose to briefly pressurize the tank, then quickly dropped the hose into the can. Couldn't do it with our newer pickups, as they all had frame-mounted tanks.
Someone once told my boss that I had a syphon hose in my truck and accused me of stealing company gas (had our own fuel tanks at the shop). Didn't take long to explain why he seldom saw me pump any gas into a 5 gallon can, or why we never ran out of gas on any job I was at. ;O)
Takes forever to transfer fuel with one of them little hand syphon pumps, since they generally have small hoses on them.
