Siphoning gas 99 CIVIC DX
Hi, is it impossible to siphon gas out of a 99 civic dx? I don't want to suck on the tube to let the gas out, and I tried using 2 tubes and blowing into one to make the gas come out, that didn't work out. I would let it out from the drain plug, but I have a full tank to let out (35L) and I don't know where I'm going to find a 35L bucket to fit under my car...

Why not? That's how you start the syphon; if you get a mouthful, just spit it out, it won't kill you. You need a loop of tube hanging down and suck on the upturned end hard for about 3 seconds then direct the tube down into your container that must be lower than the tank otherwise it won't work.
