Not that I’m looking for advice on stealing gasoline from people, but doesn’t like every car made for the last 20 years have a mesh or something that blocks you from snaking a rubber hose into the tank?
A lot of the doors are also locked as well. Cant open unless the key is inside the car or pop it manually with a button.
Yeah, a lot of the time the fuel door either locks with the regular doors or they require pulling a lever in the cabin. That being said, people forget to lock their doors sometimes, and I can’t imagine the latch is that strong.
Can confirm, I successfully broke the latch in family car by smashing the fuel door too hard.
I mean, a small pry tool could get it open in a second or two.
Yeah there’s a lot of things in place to prevent this, however most gas tanks are plastic now and one could easily punch a hole and drain it that way.
It’s seems like anyone doing this kind of thing wouldn’t have the discipline or forethought to transfer the gasoline from a large shallow pan you would have to fit under the car, to an actual canister you could transport effectively. Resulting in a lot of waste and damage for very little profit.
What you do is have a tube with an end that fits the hole you melt, connected via a little pump to your jerrycan. Bob’s your uncle.
At least, if I was doing it, like a prick who did not care about damaging someone’s car, that would be how.

Whew, for a moment there I was getting a little suspicious… 🤔 (/s)
This whole thread is suspicious.
This isn’t the worse way of being added to a list.
Thanks CIA guy.
I’m speaking as a DND player. I once spent a non-insignificant amount of time researching common, naturally found poisions that are difficult to detect because I was playing a poisoner ranger in a futuristic setting where earth was getting torn apart. (We were on a giant space station and would go to earth for missions)
Whatever you say pal.
Unfortunately the gas lock in my car stopped working a while ago. So in my case someone tried to do something there and took the gas cap with them for some reason.
I dontthink they do, and you should try it
Just target old lorries bro
Lots of old lorries parked in movie theater parking lots where you live?
How else would their drivers go see movie?
Curious, I think what you call lorries are what we call a semi (semi-truck). Ours mostly use diesel fuel. Do yours take petrol instead?
… or did I just think way to hard into a joke
Screwdriver or equivalent?
I’ve heard it’s possible to get teleported here against your will.
With special teleportation potions.
I need proof. Maybe about 80.
Only if you get stuck in the buffer.
Gasoline is a central nervous system destroyer. Never siphon gas this way.
Also, nice tits.
I unfortunately tried this as a teen. Didn’t work, and you would have to breathe in the entire tube of vapor before you can expect to get any liquid out. Was instantly nauseous and had a headache for a few days. Everytime I see an actor do this I get pretty triggered. What a strange trope.
Uhh… you aren’t supposed to inhale it.
You suck the air into your mouth, then evacuate that out your nose.
Repeat, until fuel in mouth.I’ve found that a lot of people literally don’t know how to do this. There’s a significant percentage of people out there drinking from straws with their goddamn lungs
Man, we’ve been doomed for a long time, haven’t we.
If you’d like to show me how to do, I’ll gladly watch that video. I’d recommend a vintage gasoline from the late 2000s, diesel if you’re nasty.
I mean… No?
I’m going to be shallow and judgemental here, and guess you are at least a generation younger than I am.
I grew up in the 80s, and had to siphon gas many times between cars and motorcycles and lawnmowers and whatever else. And yes, that includes diesel.
Its not rocket science, but I can understand the confusion if you haven’t had to do it before.
Watched my dad do it once. Sucked until he hit gas and spit it out, wild shit.
Just drink some water and dilute it man, you’ll be fine in six to eight days.
If it’s going to be a skill issue just use this
You can also shove the tube almost all the way into the tank, cover the end with your thumb, and then pull it out a foot or so, and start the siphon that way. Assuming the tank is relatively full, that is.
She looks like she has the skills.
Fuck I wish my hose had gas at the end of it that I can offer up.
Also great for enhancing your size, fellas.
Agreed. Nice tits.
Agreed. It’s much safer and less conspicuous to produce negative pressure in your rectum
I’ve been wondering if putting most of the tube in the tank and then covering up the hole with your thumb would be adequate in pulling up liquid to begin the siphon process.
It is, if the tank is full enough.
Why the fuck would you drink another persons gasoline
mine went sour
Should’ve got some sweet crude instead
I think you mean it’s been aged.
Gasoline has something like 3.5 million calories per gallon. That’s enough to last the drinker a lifetime!
Have you seen gas prices? Why go out and pay those prices when people just deliver it to me in their cars for free?
you seen the price of gas?
Never leave your gasoline unattended! Someone might spike it!
It’s a siphon, sucking the liquid through the tube will get it started.
That makes it so much worse. Apparently you can’t be bothered to drink like a normal person.
BEEJEREEEEEEWWEEWWWWWWWAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhoiooooooooo
I already finished drinking their milkshake
Well im kot going to drink my own. Thats an investment.
Someone where I used to live was murdered while trying to steal propane.
Shits wild, yo.
They should’ve known better than to cross Hank.
That’s an awesome GIF, but it’s not showing up in either Lemmy.World or PieFed - I’ve noticed that tenor lately is problematic.
This version works though:
Is this Hankatron?
I’m pretty sure the original is from Peggy’s guilt dream about lying about being a nun to teach Spanish at a Catholic school.
You mean I’m out here clipping catalytic converters when the easy money is in gasoline? Shoot!
Porque no los dos?
You’re already under the car. Might as well poke a hole in the gas tank and siphon it out (new cars can’t be siphoned from the fuel inlet)
Wait until you hear about how much copper there is in the average home.
Do it in an upper class neighborhood at least.
Older cars are the only ones susceptible to this, and those aren’t generally driven by the types of people who can easily afford more gas.
You mean not in an upper class neighborhood then?
Do newer cars have some mechanism to prevent this? It’s pretty basic physics, but I suppose you could put some obstacles in there to prevent a tube from reaching the liquid.
I believe most cars produced these days have a screen or valve that prevents siphoning. They allow liquid in, but prevent a hose from reaching the tank.
All fun and games until someone pokes a hole in the tank and drains it into a pan under the car.
Also has the perk of not damaging the fuel door and potentially setting off an alarm if it’s there.
Or so I hear.
Every car I’ve had in the last two decades has a door over the fuel hole that locks when the doors are locked.
Pry bars are a thing.
I just mean the old cars in an upper class neighborhood are less likely to be driven by poor people while still being vulnerable to this siphoning because yes, sadly newer cars have meshes or locking mechanisms to deter gas siphoning.
But I mean if there’s bigotry stickers on the car by all means go whole ham no matter where it’s parked. Hell stick a lentil in the tire valve caps while you’re at it.

/s right… /s right?
as /s as OP, yes
Where’s the fucking fuel hole on a Tesla? Please hurry.
Most modern vehicles have fuel inlets that are specifically designed to prevent siphoning. If you want to steal gas, you’ll need to drill a hole in the (often plastic) gas tank underneath the car.
More knowledge is more power.
Fun fact it is actually legal to steal gasoline as long as your boobs are out.
So you have time to wash several cars as a lovely surprise for their owners. As a bonus, your presence will deter theives who would steal from members of your proletariat community. Instead you can encourage them only to steal from faceless tax dodging corporations, billionaires and landlords.
Landlords and corporate CEOs go to the movies, too.
RVs have a sewage tank too.
😋
Noice. Free fuel, free fertilizer. Parking lots are the best!
We used to have security guards patrolling the parking lot at the small theater that I worked at. I’m guessing that’s not happening anymore though because profits.
People exiting movie theater every 10 minutes
…something about a golf ball through a garden hose
Lockable caps became standard in cars during the oil crisis in the seventies because of this.
