Siphoning Gas???

Is there a trick that I'm not following here? I buy the pump, follow all the instructions (limited, yeah) and the stupid hose isn't even getting down to the gas!!! WTF? I had over 3/4 of a tank in the car and still nothing. I even jacked the car up on the opposite side and the hose would still not reach the damn gas. The hose felt like it would hit something and stop. What could it be? There's no mechanism that keeps people from siphoning gas from your car is there??

Get a hose, put it down in there, and start sucking (you know you want to :p )

But on a more serious note....make sure the pump is going the right direction, sucking, and not pumping.

Some cars make it so you cant siphone their gas very well... smart idea... im sure some people remember locking gas caps ;)
