You put the two hoses in the jerry can covered the spout with the neopreme placed the other end of the 5/*' hose in the tank and then applied a steady breath to the 1/4" hose. It didn't take long for a siphon to be created. Worked great. No moving parts to break.
Thanks for that.
I have used siphons many times but the 1/4 inch starter is the cat's meow!!
