Stick a syphon hose in the tank, suck on the end that's not in the tank until you get a mouthful of gas then stick that end in a jerry can.

Or NAPA sells a power pump that attaches to an Air Ratchet that will transfer liquid. The caution tag says not for gas, however being powered by air instead of an electric drill or such it works just fine.

Comes in a nice hard plastic case, works slicker than **** on a stick.

A 2014 XM, hey! Let's do some thinking here; they came out in December and it is 3.5 months later. Does that mean the gas you put in and didn't burn is old? Or is that what you put in (old gas) to begin with?

Princess Auto sells a "jiggler" siphon hose, which is a check valve on the end of a hose. Stick hose in tank, jerk up and down a couple times, liquid comes out the other end. Kinda like beating off except its not as enjoyable. Canadian Tire should have a "bulb valve" type siphon hose that has a primer bulb in the middle of the hose, you just give a couple squeezes and away it goes. It looks pretty much like the primer/fuel hose for a small outboard boat motor (the hose from the tank to the motor) except its made of clear plastic.

Choose spot in yard where annoying weeds grow. Move machine to that spot. Take off gas cap. Turn sled upside down. If you have neighbours this is best done at night.

Exactly tip it over and let it buck, that's the Alberta way.

I wouldn't consider gas thats only been sitting 2 weeks old gas. 5 months yes but not a couple weeks. Could get expensive if you're siphoning off gas every time the sled sits for a couple weeks. But ctire does have a manual transfer pump for about $10-15

I agree. I wouldn't be worried about fuel that's only two weeks old. Get rid of that gas by riding your sled.

Dump a couple litres of 110 in and fill it up with good premium, or what ever other fuel you run and ride it if your worried. 2 week old fuel won't hurt anything, 2-3 month maybe but not 2 weeks
