Help!!! Stuck Siphon hose

[Fred Cowell]

Does anyone know an easy way to get a stuck garden hose out of fuel tank. It will shove more in but won't come back out. I've already made sure the little flip cap at the opening is not the problem. I really don't want to remove the tank.

Why on earth did you stick a garden hose in there?
Did it go in there easy?, I wouldn't think it would fit.

Did it have the metal screw part on there if so it is probably hanging up on something down in the tank.

sounds like you may have to drop the tank.

Did you try twisting the hose as you pulled? There may be an anti- splash back flap down lower in the neck, and the hose is catching on it. If there is one, and it is hanging up the hose, maybe you can use a piece of stiff wire down along the hose to hold the flap back as long as it isnt' after the first bend. Just watch our for any static sparks!!!
