Dear Ace, Thanks for the tip. I have experienced a few too many mouthfuls of gas. Never thought of pressurizing the tank to get things going. The name "BBQ Bill" shall be hallowed along with Bernoulli, Reynolds, and Newton in the world of fluid flow. Knot - who thinks that a pump is just a turbine that sucks.

What KLR stands for K = Kawasaki L = Japanese designation for Dual Purpose Bike R = Not sure - usually means Road KLR = Kawasaki Dual Purpose designed more for the Road. What KX stands for K = Kawasaki X = Moto Cross KX = Kawasaki Moto Cross What KLX stands for K = Kawasaki L = Japanese designation for Dual Purpose Bike X = Moto Cross KLX = Kawasaki Dual Purpose designed more for Moto Cross Don't ask me what the D's, E's or S's stand for in the Kawasaki line up. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Here's another that will save you the trouble of sucking or blowing a small tube. Take a 6 length of tubing, get the thin walled vinyl stuff from your local hardware store (its nice to be able to throw it in your tool kit). Stick one end in the gas tank and then feed all of the rest of it into the tank a little at a time. When all but a small bit is in the gas then pinch off the tube and pull it out to your container and release. The net effect is that you sealed gas in the line at the same time that you pulled it out of the tank. Voila instant flow and no sucking or blowing. Works better with fuller tanks Ah but wait here's another (but it requires sucking). Take your fuel line off the petcock and attach a free hose to it, place the other end into the container. Place another tube on the vacuum nipple of the petcock and suck on that hose. You'll never get a mouthful of gas and it will free flow into your container so long as you suck on the vacuum line. Works great when the tank is almost empty. LaterZ Dash Who avoids sucking or blowing on hoses, as much as possible. At 01:23 PM 7/12/2000 -0400, ephilride@... wrote:
