People siphon gasoline out of cars by creating a vacuum with a hand-operated pump which pulls the gas from the fuel tank through a flexible tube. These types of siphons have been used for many years and are relatively simple in design. The user connects one end of the tube to the fuel filler neck, then attaches the other end to an containers such as jerry cans which they have filled with water, thus trapping air and creating an efficient vacuum that draws up the gasoline into their container.

People siphon gasoline out of cars by using a hose connected to a container or jug. These suction pumps have multiple ports for drawing fuel into the siphon which has an incline angle that cause liquid to move upwards from the tank to the pump. As long as atmospheric pressure is lower than the pressure in the vehicle's gasoline tank, fuel will be siphoned out of the car.
