Siphoning gas - observations on a Nissan Sentra

9/20/2016

0 Comments

 
                  Most late model cars can be accessed with the standard GASTAPPER access line and guide tube.  Sometimes people run into a situation where the standard technique isn’t successful.  A good example is the 2012 Nissan Sentra.  This model year has a longer filler neck than later models.  It follows a winding path to get to the gas tank.
​
This would be a case where the guide tube isn’t needed.  The guide tube gives the ¼ inch hose increased rigidity to pop through any ball valves or butterfly valve.  According the repair manual to the Nissan Sentra, the filler-neck is not equipped with any valves between the gas cap and the fuel tank.  This would be a case where flexibility would be better than rigidity.  Let the ¼ inch hose go naked this time.  There is an increased risk of putting a kink in the hose, but the narrow filler-neck on the Sentra is narrow enough to limit the chance of a kink.
