With a supply of fuel, you can run cars, operate machinery, and power generators; you can start fires in the windiest, wettest conditions imaginable and run camping stoves with it. There\u2019s a reason why most apocalypse movies and television shows start with scenes of people scrambling to fill up at the gas station. The question is, what do you do when you can\u2019t get to the gas station? &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Siphoning fuel is a critical skill, and it applies to any situation where you need to transfer liquids from one container into another. Siphoning works by creating a vacuum that initiates flow from a higher point to a lower point. So, whether you find yourself siphoning fuel out of your tank to help someone who\u2019s run out of gas in the backcountry, or you\u2019re neck deep in a zombie apocalypse trying to keep your RV running, here\u2019s how to siphon some fuel to keep you on the road. All you need is a container to siphon into and enough hose to stretch from the inside of the car\u2019s gas tank to your container.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like this illustrated guide?
