Just, uh, wow.
Why not just siphon or if gravity is in the way rent a peristaltic pump?
With the price of gas these days explosions aren't the investment they once were.

It probably has an anti-siphon filler neck. But I think they should still be able to take the filler off from underneath and get a hose into the tank, it's just a PITA to do. If you *really* need to puncture the tank, you don't use a drill you use a punch.

I've heard a few reports of folks in my area having their tanks punctured and drained.

Hard to tell what actually started it. Sparks from inside the drill? Hot drill bit?
-
The idiot under the car started it.

Why in the world was he even drilling into the gas tank anyway??? :facepalm:

When I was in college I heard about a kid who (as a high schooler) was making a firework - OK, call it a pipe bomb - for the 4th of July. He filled a short pipe with a bunch of match heads and capped it - before he realized he didn't have a way to put in a fuse. So . . . he set about drilling into the pipe bomb without emptying it. :facepalm:
Word is he - barely - survived the explosion, but was missing a lot of parts.
