I am trading in the truck and it has a full tank of gas and I woulg like to take it out and put it in my other cars. I can not seem to get the hose down into the tank, it seems to hitting on something any ideas on what is happening.
could be a trap door like so you cant stick a hose down in tank, BUT not sure, but i have heard that some models have that. keeps ppl from stealing your gas
You're going to go to all that trouble for $30 worth of gas? Sheesh........................
Doc
good f*cking grief
What the hell....just poke a hole in the tank and drain it that way.

Better yet, un hook your fuel line and turn the truck on, let it pump the gas out itself :)
Fuel pump will run for 2-3 seconds to pressurize on each key turn to "RUN"..........it would take a LONG time and several hundred key-turns to drain it that way!

well I finally found someone cheaper then me
Society may be better served if you just negotiate in the trade the new vehicle have a full tank of gas when delivered to you.
The most probable reason you can't "get the hose down into the tank" is there's a ball float check valve in the system to prevent the tank from being over-filled and fuel spilled. It has the added benefit of keeping a siphon hose out.

The hose is hitting on the lip of the neck that is on the tank it self. Try cutting the end of the hose you are using at a 45° angle, then reinsert in the filler neck. when it stops again, rotate the hose as you gently push. It should pop over the lip and enter the tank.
That $30.00 worth of GAS will Cause you $500.00 in Damages to your NEW VEHICLE ,,, All the Crud and JUNK at the Bottom of The tank will come out with The Hose Via the NECK. And You want to DUMP it in the NEW VEHICLE ??

Don`t be so cheap! If you can afford a different vehicle,you can afford a new tank of gas. Just like Doc said,(i think it was Doc)why do you wanna suck the junk from the bottom of the tank? Never,EVER thought about doing that! What`s your reasoning?
Your right, there is a valve before the tank just to stop that from happening, I like the other guys suggestion, poke a hole in the tank, but thats me with junk cars.
I would just leave the gas in the tank and eat the loss, cheepass.
