Has anyone ever siphoned gasoline out of their Viper? I tried using a conventional siphon pump but all I get is air.
Need help with gas siphon

You need to stick your hose ALL the way in...or get a LONGER hose...another problem with a long, limp hose is that the end can curl around and be ABOVE the fuel line....dON'T get it stuck in there !!!

hmmmm, I will keep trying. The siphon hose is long enough and it doesn't seem to be curling up. It just doesn't seem to hit gas??

When I tried it was like there was somthing blocking the way. I was using 1/4" hard plastic industrial type air line.

I changed my fuel pump and had the same problem. The problem is there is a small check ball at the end of the filler tube. It's actually part of the tank. I was never able to go thru so..... After taking it apart I found out why. The check ball is there so when cornering fuel doesn't flow up the neck and up to the cap.
I'm guessing. Good luck.

viperrt96,
did you replace the pump yourself? I had mine replaced under warranty, and would not want to tackle that one by myself.

It wasn't that bad. The biggest problem to me was wiggling the tank out and back in. The tank comes out thru the trunk of the RT10. The access panel is exactly the size of the tank. I don't have a warranty and the cost of the fuel pump alone was over $450. That was the biggest reason I did my own. Glad I did. Peice of cake.
