HELP! Tried Siphoning gas from MY car J GC L (WL) and got tube stuck. The flexible tube is hanging out and if I pull on it I can not pull it out. I had to put in about 5' of 1" flexible tubing to reach the gas and I think it is getting stuck down deep down there versus up top.
I would greatly appreciate any help.

In case this helps somone in the future. You have to put some sort of rod down the tube and then pull the tube over the rod out of the gas tank/filler tube. We used a smaller piece of rebar. Where the tube gets stuck is on anti-siphon valve. If you just pull on the tube it will damage the tube. You can use a hard tube and then siphon using that to get by the valve by putting a tube inside the hard tube or use the hard tube itself.
Hope this helps someone.
