My father bought me a gas tube to fill up my car and it got stuck because I have the newer car. I just want to thank you so much for sharing this video because like you.I also couldn't find any information online. You are literally a lifesaver and a hero for me.

You’re a hero! Someone tried to siphon gas from my son’s car and left a tube hanging out. Your video saved us! THANK YOU!!

The dealership didn't know what to do, they wanted to have us make an appointment and they would take it apart. We had a wedding to attend and had no time to take time off to get this fixed. You saved us so much money and we still made the wedding as planned. Thank you so so so much!!!

You made my evening when those Honda technicians that I called wont be able to help until tomorrow morning!! The trick worked with Honda CRV 2022 using a think metal cloth hanger...wow.. thank you 100x

Thank you man whoever you are that trick saved me a ton. I'm living in the Dominican Republic, under quarantine and was trying to siphon gas for the motorcycle. It works.

You saved me from a heart attack. One useful tip for those who have a longer pipe and have to cut it shorter: don't cut it too short, I almost pushed the whole pipe inside my fuel tank with my screwdriver after letting that gate loose...causing a 2nd potential heart attack. Had to use my non-existing surgical skills to get it out from there, 1cm shorter and the whole pipe falls inside the tank.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This saved me a bunch of time and grief (not to mention money if I had to take it to a mechanic.) You have brought some peace and joy through this video!

This video helped me. I had to put a rod on the outside of the stuck tube but it worked. Thanks for posting this!

Thank you for this!! Worked like a charm 10 seconds or so. Terrible design if you need to add gas from a can

You are definitely a life saver!!!

In the most genuine way possible, I love you… you saved my day

Thanks for the tip.. I couldn't find anything until I came across your video.

Thank you! Thank you! This video just saved my *ss! Here's what I did: I cut the tubing like you said, but probably didn't have to in the end. I didn't have as long of screwdriver as you did, so I slid a screwdriver down underneath the tubing that was stuck. And like you said, it stops, but can then be pushed in further with a little extra push. That must be that second flap/gate you can't see. I wasn't able to pull the tubing out, so I switched to slipping the screwdriver in on the topside of the tubing. Once in, and through the lower flap/gate, I pushed the screwdriver down to "open" that gate while pulling on the tubing. It worked. The tubing finally came out. I was surprised how crimped/smashed the tubing was from the flap/gate closing on it. Thank you again! I was out of town in a rural area when this all happened.

Bless you, Bless you !! Just stuck a siphon tube in my 2021 Honda. Found your video. I had much more tubing inside. This worked. I had to trim the tubing as I pulled out it out, as my screw driver wasn't as long as yours.

Exactly what I needed, thank you! I used a hose to put fuel conditioner in my Ford Energi, since I only need to refuel every 1,800 miles. My gas tank looked exactly like yours at 0:30. I had a long steel rod that was perfect for the job.

Thank you! 74 yo but still learning every day! Works on a 2020 Honda Civic!

Just want to thank you, as well - this trick saved me. I had *added* gas to the tank on my 2015 C-Max, from a portable tank via a siphon tube and then couldn't get the tube out. (Yes, I should have used the nozzle. Next time, I will.) I was going to post in the C-Max Facebook group to see if anyone had a suggestion, and just thought I should try KZfaq, as it has been teaching me stuff all weekend long. And you came through for me! Thanks again.

your a life saver , i used a fireplace poker after i unscrewed the tip that's what you get for being cheap i was syphoning from a car i was trading in

Thanks... followed your video with my wife 2022 Ram Truck... Couldn't face her to tell what I was trying to do with that hose... Wow.. You saved the day ! Thanks again!!!

Saved my life. Was getting a range rover ready for shipping and had no idea this was a thing

Thanks! I used your procedure to remove a stuck tube from the gas fill on my 2017 Pacifica van--thanks again for posting!

Thanks for this video. It really works for all of us that make this mistake.

Your video saved me a lot of time and money. I watched a different video before this and it almost made me rip off the hose. You explain it better about going past the second wall before pulling down and out.

Thanks for this video. Got the tube stuck while siphoning into the car . Worked after only a minute.

Wow thank you so much I was just about to go ballistic on that tube and start pulling on it I made myself stop go inside calm down bring up KZfaq and I am thankful that you took the time to make this video, many thanks you saved my ass

Dealership was going to charge us $800 to replace the filler neck. Cannot express how greatful we are to you for making this video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hope Kharma is sending you all the great things you deserve 🤣😍

Thank you for posting your creative solution! Your video and explanation were really helpful. You saved me a minimum of a $169 visit to the car dealer. With labor, they probably would have charged even more.

You’re a hero 😅 I had a hose stucked inside and it works !! Also I wasn’t have that much tall tool so I did all the steps except inserting the tool inside hose. I pushed from outside and it works too !! Thanks alot

Superb work my friend works like a charm! Truly grateful for the advice.

Let me add: that if you're thinking about using a wood dowel rod since it's on your way to your truck...don't. I managed to break THAT off in the tube, luckily the bottom half didn't fall in. Then I walked the extra 25ft to get the long screwdriver, held onto the tube/broken piece with a set of pliers - pushed just above the tube, and it all came out. Thanks for the video - so I didn't make a fool of myself in the FB group of 50k F-150 owners...just in front of whoever reads my comment.

Wonderful!! Car dealer had no answers, said I needed a new filler neck and analysis of the leak.

Just had to do this on a 2017 Focus... definitely works...thanks for the video

Thank you soooo much. This worked like a charm on our 2017 Honda CR-V.

Thank you! This video saved me! This worked great on my 2017 Chevy Camaro so it will probably work on a lot of car makes and models. The key seems to be putting the screw driver into the tubing. And, yes, you do have to push hard. Never again will I try to siphon gas out of my car. I often used to siphon gas out of my car 25 years ago or so to fill up my lawn mower. I hadn't done it in years and thought I would easily siphon some gas out for a new generator I wanted to try out. Nope! Modern cars are different! I'm sure this video saved me a least $200.00 and the embarrassment of going to a mechanic with this issue.

Thus actually worked 1st time mate spot in video top man

Thank you so much for taking the time to share that info. THANK YOU!!

Thank you!! Used this on a jeep renegade 2020. You are americas Hero

You’re a saint ! This saved me a lot of time and headache

You saved me big time! I was in panick mode! Thanks man!

This was so helpful ! Really got me out of a jam , thanks .

Thanks for the great advice!! You saved the day for me!

Thieves left a hose stuck after stealing gas from our business’ Ford Transit, and this worked to get it out. Thanks for posting!

Thanks so much, only video I could find, just what I needed to see 🍻

Thank you, bro. Who knew? Worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot! it did the trick. You saved us a lot of money. BTW it worked on Ford Fusion

Awesome!!! Saved me a trip to the dealership!!!

Thank You! Someone tried to steal our gas last night and we came out to find a hose stuck. Your method worked and now we just have to replace the outside cover that they broke off. 😣

Thank you so much. Your video just helped me.

Omg I was about to lose my mind and thank you so much for this video I am a female learning about car stuff over the years and this f***ing saved me !!!

Thank you for this video. Just saved me from a heart attack

Thanks bro, you saved the day

Thank you this help me so quickly

Worked on 2024 Honda Pilot. Saved a trip to the dealer 😊

Thank you so much for this; you've saved my day! A definite emphasis on the "push harder than you think"!

Worked on a 2016 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. Slipped a fiberglass rod into stuck plastic funnel tube ( after cutting tube at bottom of funnel ). Held upper door / flap open with a long screwdriver, whilst opening lower door / flap open with a longer screwdriver. Then pulled out ribbed ( cause of holding problem ) plastic funnel tube .

you saved me a trip to the mechanie. There is a 2nd GATE. I used an envelope opener to push and keep both gates open and then pulled the tube out! ridiculous that this isn't more common knowledge.

i got a smaller tube like rod stuck in mines, there nothing tht would b hard enough to go thru the hole so i could use ur methods. is there any other way? like lifting the lock from up top

Thank you so much! You saved me!

Thank you it work and save me some money

you’re lifesaver

Thank you so much, you saved me!

So with a soft tube like that, you're going through center of tube because the tube itself is pinched? Because I have a rigid metal flex tube that is ribbed. Have not tried yet, but not sure if this method will work. Perhaps ill have to put a rod along side the funnel tube to get the 2nd door open? Thoughts?

Life saver ! Thank you !!!!

Great video, thanks. I had this same problem and before I saw this video I used a regular screwdriver OUTSIDE the tube to lift the inner flap to get the hose out. I was super careful but I think I may have damaged the inner flap. I just went to the gas station to fill up and the pump kept shutting off. Not sure if the pump was the issue or my car. I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Jerokee. Is that a sign I may have damaged the flap? Thanks!

Thanks so much! You saved my bacon!

You are a damn wallet saver! Thank you for the help!

Thanks, saved the day!!

Dude! Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Tried to sup home some gas from my civic into my bike guy it got stuck. Super super easy fix trust. Id kiss you if I could rn

A million thanks for this video, I thought I’d really done it this time when that siphon got stuck and wouldn’t budge - it worked. Waves of relief…. Now I’m enjoying reading the comments on others who found themselves in the same situation, you really put out a great video. Did you figure this out yourself?

Thank you!! Some jacka$$ tried to siphon my truck and when I went to fill up there was about an inch of red tube off a harbor freight siphon pump coming out of my fill.

I have a half tank of gas in my 2017 Viper and the shipping company want less than an eighth tank for shipping so my hose got stuck in the cap less gas tank spout. Fortunately I found this video and all is well now. I wound up letting it idle for a couple hours to burn off the fuel because of no tag

We were the day before a cross country move and couldn't take a move a full Jerry can, so tried to pour it into my truck in order not to waste it. I didn't know that you can't use a tube with the new tanks, and it got stuck. We were literally freaking out as we were due to drive 2 days the next day. Your video saved the whole freaking move. My husband literally had tears when it came out because we were so stressed. I had to take a curtain rod off the wall to use because all our tools were packed away but it worked!! THANK YOU so much for taking the time to make this video. I hope the universe rewards you!!!! You saved us so much money, time and heartache!

Ok you saved us!!! THANK YOU!!!

2 heart attacks you saved 😂 well done for the tip

Worked for my Honda Civic

Aternatively one can put the funnel around the hose and push it into the filling opening, so that the hose remains inside the funnel. This also worked for me

Subscribed good content thumbs upped 👍

Life SAVER!!

Saved me bro

Thank you!! Almost had to take my grandpas truck to the dealership!

Well this work if your hose is 2' down?

Never stick thing sin where they don't belong, My wife's always telling me that😂

Your they frigging hero of the day thank you¡!!@!

Thank You!!!!!!

Thank You!!

so how did you get the gas out ?

Thany you!!!❤

Thank you 😢

Thanks for sharing

Thank you

I had this happen to me. And all I did was put a screwdriver in the pipe and pushed the bottom flap ad he hose came out. No different than the gas nozzle pushing on the flap.

Haven’t been able to get this solution to work yet, but..,,,,, I tried some things that Probably made it worse, and dug that rubber pipe in to the flapper. they say Ford has a better idea, but this wasn’t a better idea. Frankly because the thieves will know to put a funnel down past the 2nd flapper, then a flexible pipe Inside that for the rest of the way. Then they’ve got your gas. Still the best way is to have a gas lever inside the vehicle.

I have a spiral metal tube stuck. This didn’t work

Why not put the funnel in the tank and the tube through the funnel.

Here in California that saves you like 900 ram dealer in Fresno Ca are a ripoff they gonna want to drop the gas tank to milk you bet!

Works on a Ferrari too!

Or just use a hard tube
