Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Is there a simple contraption available to siphon gas out of a snowthrower tank?  My thoughts were to transfer gas from the snow thrower to my portable tank used for the lawn mower.  Also, I briefly read either here (or somewhere) about a product that treats old gas stored from the previous winter so that it can be used without damaging the carburetor/engine.  I think I would rather remove/transfer gas to the lawnmower.  Here in New England, it's not unsual to be removing snow and then mow the lawn within a few weeks of each other.

Lubrication:  What's out there to apply grease to the auger fittings?

Thanks in advance.

On most Tecumseh engines it's easy to disconnect the fuel line at the bottom of the tank.

Don't use the fuel for your mower. Throw it in your car. The winter mix is different.

I use Stabil or PRI-G on the fuel before I put it in the thrower - I add it right at the gas station when I buy the gas.

Go buy a turkey baster. Long plastic tube with rubber bulb at
the top. Squeeze bulb,stick in tank,suck up the old gas-repeat till empty.
Put old gas in car or truck.Gets diluted down pretty good.
