You can’t siphon a trucks gas just because it has a blue line flag. Most modern cars have an anti-siphon valve, so that causes issues.
Instead, you locate the fuel tank and drill a small hole in it. That way you can let the fuel collect in a tub or jug. On lifted trucks this is even easier. Drill the hole, pop a large jug under it, perhaps use a small rubber hose or funnel.
Remember to leave them a little note that you’ve drilled a hole, so they can go get it repaired and not leak fuel everywhere attempting to refill it.
Install a self-tapping valve, then you can drain the next tankfull even easier.
Unethical Life Pro Tips!
With this approach it’s best to not leave them a note.
Self tappers are great. Don’t forget your gasket so they don’t notice a drip.

Is that why I couldn’t siphon my gas that I needed for a generator after a hurricane? Not only did I fail at what I thought would be an easy task, I got sick and threw up in my 95⁰ house
Pro tip for sucking volatile gases, you can suck air into your mouth and push it out your nose without it going into your lungs. I do that when I clean glass pieces with iso when there’s still some vapors present. If you exhale out your nose while you do this you can be extra sure none goes into your lungs. Granted you should also be sure you’re actually pulling liquid if you’re trying to syphon, but at least you wouldn’t be pulling into your lungs.
Citation needed.
Why don’t you just try it…? It’s not that hard to do. Just relax your sinus muscles and close your lips, then alternate between using your tongue to fill the space in your mouth pushing air out your nose and moving your tongue out of the way to create a void, sucking air back in. If you can coordinate this while also alternating between closing your sinuses and opening your lips while you create the void in order to suck air in your lips, and then closing your lips and opening your sinus so that the air gets pushed out your nose, then you’ll be able to pump air from your mouth out your nose without using your lungs.
I guess I’m not really following the technique. But let me ask this: Regardless if you aren’t getting air to your lungs then there is no point of breathing right? Since the lungs are the ones that get the oxygen into your bloodstream. If using the technique above is actually effective, wouldn’t you choke because of not getting enough oxygen?
Yeah so you’re essentially holding your breath while you do it, so you’d need to take a break to breathe in and if you’re trying to siphon you would need to seal your lips to prevent losing your progress / prevent the liquid from falling back down. But you can exhale while doing it, which also helps to make sure your don’t accidentally inhale whatever fumes you’re “pumping”.
Granted it’s kind of a silly thing to do and only marginally useful. Each cycle only moves a mouthful of air so I only find it useful for clearing trace amounts of isopropyl fumes from vapes and pipes without hurting my throat, but a fun trick nonetheless if you have the coordination. And depending on the fumes it might still burn your nostrils a bit.
Maybe the better way to explain the technique is: you can close the back of your throat and move your tongue back and forth to push air in and out of your mouth. You can also close your lips and do the same motion with your tongue to push air in and out your nose. All you really need to do is alternate between the two so that instead of pushing the air back out your mouth, you push it out your nose.
Haha yeah that was my method. I was just too stubborn and, combined with the heat at the time, courting disaster.
Ah I thought you meant that you got sick from getting the fumes into your lungs. That’s unfortunate.
Yup, you got a lung full of gasoline vapors and nothing else. You need a car siphon pump, they’re super cheap and available at any auto store. You just gotta make sure it’s got a long hose on both sides and a tube for air to get into the tank. If the hose is too long just cut it. Those stick ones don’t work on every car cause some gas tanks have slight bends.
Just shove tampons down the filler tube or any non fuel liquid
Corn syrup
May as well take that cat converter while you’re down there, for good luck.
Or: sugar!
Corn syrup dissolves better in gasoline
bleach will oxidize the entire engine and seize it after several miles. No turning back from bleach.
Just hope you don’t make a spark while drilling
That’s the good thing. AFAIK most tanks are plastic nowadays.
Raw eggs and water in the gas tank takes less work, although you don’t get gas out of it.
Good manners can’t be left out , indeed.
In case anyone can’t tell this is sarcasm, this (intentionally causing damage to private property belonging to someone else) would be considered vandalism, which is a crime. Please do not commit crimes.
But crimes are fun
Also despite what those cartoons told you crime fuckin pays and it’s expensive to be poor, also fuck the police so 🤷♂️
Pro-tip: Sometimes fucking the police also pays.
Life of the party right here.
…
JUST IN CASE YOU COULDNT TELL THIS IS ALSO SARCASM.
It also spits in the face of the U.S. flag code 🙄
These fucking chuds would wipe their ass with the flag if they thought it would “own the libs”, they don’t give a fuck about country or civic duty.
Fake ass patriots can’t even display the proper Murikan flag 🇺🇸 smh
Step 1. Poop in a bag.
Step 2. Grab the bag from the bottom and pull it inside out so it’s now acting as a poop glove.
Step 3. Shove the poop under their door handle and then use the bag to wipe excess visible poop away.They might not know it’s because of their boot licking but they sure as hell will start thinking about things a little more.
You had me at poop in a bag

Oh noes, we have to be nice to the violent shitheads, or else they will be violent shitheads just like they were anyway.
Imagine telling people to shit in a bag and play with it and then having the audacity to call the other guys “shitheads” lmao. Just put a BB under their tire stem and call it a day dude
I heard cars with those decals have too much air in their tires.
Do them a favor and let some out
Put a pebble under the stem cap and tighten it for them.
Why is this meme written in Cumfont
I’d say you know why, but cum on
It also means you can fuck their spouse as long as you don’t hit them…
Yeah, hitting the spouse is their job.
On a more serious note, though, while I do 100% that the “Thin Blue Line” is pure idiocy, I don’t think that actually going out of your way to harass them (even if it is warranted) is in any way effective in convincing them otherwise and having them see reason. Same reasoning as with why many young boys these days fall down the alt-right rabbit hole and become a Tater Tot.
There is a high chance that someone shoving that thing-blue-line bullshit probably own a gun and are desperately waiting for an excuse to shoot someone for even the most minute reason. And they had said “FAFO” 3 times already that day
You also think beating up fascists is “a bad way to make them see reason”? It’s entirely not the point. You beat up fascists to make them be afraid of openly being a fascist.
Fair enough, I was being too idealistic. I just wish we can have them see reason instead, but if we can’t, making them shut up and not spread their idiocy would perhaps make for the next best thing.
Lol what’s a tater tot?
And by stealing their gas you are probably just reinforcing their stereotypes on crime and what the police response should be.
A Tater Tot is a mindless follower of some very punchable asshole called Andrew Tate. Also in regards to your second point, while that is true, they will and already do have that stupid stereotype ingrained in their racist minds anyways. Might as well take advantage of it.
That episode of Trailer Park Boys has my all-time favorite scene when Ricky was in court:
If I can’t smoke and swear, I’m fucked
Also love when he tells Ricky he can smoke, the cops in the courtroom pull their smokes out too
I absolutely love this scene with all my heart
Smokes snaps but I’ve only got two left
I don’t care, you’ve been a dick to me all day, it’s the least you can do
For us non US citizens, can someone explain the flag please?
This flag is called “Thin Blue Line”, which is a pro-police symbol. The origin is from the thought that supposedly the only thing keeping peaceful society insulated from total anarchy is a “thin blue line”, or a small number of law enforcement officers who voluntarily put themselves between the two.
However, as noble as the origin sounds, the flag itself is only a modern artistic creation that can trace it’s actual creation to the counter-protest of the “Black Lives Matter” movement in support of the police (the ones who were the subject of accusations of racial bias and discrimination against blacks in America) and it often interpreted as a racist dogwhistle, supporting acts of police brutality, extrajudicial killings, and authoritarianism in general.
It’s a pretty right-wing affiliated symbol and you see it in conjunction with a lot of other conservative virtue signaling, iconography, and stereotypes.
The thin blue line is a symbol for the police. Used in the UK and US.
As a reaction to Black Lives Matter protests against racist police brutality, the (far-)right coined the term Blue Lives Matter to protest violence against the police.
Of course, the whole thing is disingenious. They support the police because the police in the US are often racist and they like that the police disproportionately beat up black people. When rioters stormed the US capital after Trump lost the election, plenty were waving blue lives flags, and didn’t actually seem to care that much about endangering the police guarding the building.
TLDR hyper-partisan US political virtue signaling associated with the far-right.
I was wondering when you said UK too so I did a quick image search and…
Of course it’s fucking real.
TBH my first thought was this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thin_Blue_Line_(British_TV_series)
Which I think we can all agree is far more pleasant.
Haven’t watched it in years, but now I’m whistling the theme tune!
Not american but that flag came about in support of the police after all the police kept killing innocent black people.
Bootlickers say they support the police with it. The same police that kill innocent people with no knock warrants and face little repercussion.
It’s the blue life matters flag used by right wingers to show support to police who are fighting the black lifes matter movement.
Unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is pretty sour, and bootlicker gas… tastes pretty good!
Ricky didn’t steal your gas, it was “raykins”.
Only wack suckas like Cory and Trevor steal gas
A toad a so.
Friends with the Benedict’s.
It’s always trucks too
Well, if Ricky said it…
If you saw someone stealing from a thin blue line person. No you didn’t.
What’s that wannabe USA flag?
It’s the “thin blue line” flag, cop apologists essentially.
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses
Thanks. I recognised the black and white US flag, but I didn’t know the flag had been repurposed for such disgusting racist intents.
