Instead of siphoning, consider safer alternatives:
* Use a gas can: The safest and easiest way to transfer gasoline is to use an approved gas can. Fill the can from your truck's tank and carefully pour it into the generator's fuel tank.
* Portable electric generator: If you frequently need to power equipment, consider investing in a portable electric generator that runs on a safer fuel source, like propane.
If you absolutely *must* transfer fuel, ensure you're in a well-ventilated area, far from any ignition sources (including cigarettes, sparks, or even static electricity). Use proper safety equipment, such as gloves and eye protection. Even then, siphoning is inherently risky.
