Siphoning Gasoline - SAFELY

[larryinnewyork]

Once a year I siphon the gasoline from the Generator into a 5 gallon can.
If the Siphon Hose slips out of the can, I have a mess (and fire hazard).
I wanted a fool-proof method and came up with this.
I found these on E-Bay.

I bought this type (bought mine locally at Home Brewing Store).

Another alternative would be:

You will have to Cut & Paste address.
Hope someone finds these Tubing Holders helpful.

I always separate the fuel line at the filter and drain it into the gas can. Maybe it's not accessible on yours?

I have a little pulse-pump that I power with my jump-start box to move fuel.

I use a siphon wizard. It's fast and cheap. Just be careful about static building up and possibly igniting the vapors.
