How to steal gas times are tuff

How to steal gas.

Step 1: obtain tools, hole saw and cordless drill, a few seal-able drain pans (like those used to change oil)

Step 2: make sure target vehicle has an exposed plastic gas tank (2wd pickups are good targets, large tank with no skidplate)

Step 3: drill hole in bottom of gas tank and drain into pan, exchange pans when they are filled.

you're welcome

I assume you specified 'plastic gas tank' for fear of sparks when drilling a metal one?  You realize, of course, that a cordless will also arc between the brushes and motor.  May I suggest an air powered drill so you don't have to visit the prison hospital until it's time for anal stitches?

why does a simple label matter, criminal so what, call me what you want, I can get free gas.

I guess child molester is 'just a label' when you come right down to it.

You're not likely to carry a large enough air supply to power an air drill. Also they are loud and may attract more attention than needed. While it is true that electric motors may spark from brush to comm, they are generally shielded and far enough away as to not ignite vapor.

I've seen arcing quite clearly from inside a tool's housing from time to time and I wouldn't want to be drilling into a tank full of flamable shit with one, particularly from underneath.  I didn't want to get too involved in the logistics of gasoline theft.  I just didn't want anyone to be burned alive as punishment.

Besides, if you can afford a cordless and a hole saw kit then you can afford gas.  Unless you stole the drill.  In which case you ought to pawn it and buy the gas so you can afford to drive around and steal more drills.

Bet this'll power your drill, stud.
