Every suggestion I made pre storm to my 85 year old former engineer father was rebuffed. especially the 'get more gasoline containers' one.
Luckily he was outside the eyewall.
regardless, he has no power,
He does have a Generator, but no more fuel for it.
Has a 2022 cadilliac with a full tank.
says hes gong to drive around and try to find a gas station that has power and is dispensing fuel.
I'm not sure how difficult it is to siphon fuel from the tank in such a vehicle, even if he had a siphon.
I doubt even with explicit directions on how to extract fuel safely on his vehicle, he would do it, but perhaps others can benefit from the shared knowledge, of how to do so.
My own vehicle I can get about 1/4 gallon at a time with a siphon, and in the past, have just run 12v direct to my fuel pump and disconnected a fuel line at external filter, but on anything modern, I'd have little idea where to start.
