Question no 2: fuel siphons

Okay, I've thought of another one. Fuel siphons seem to be highly recommended, not least by Chris himself. But I've never used one before, so have no idea where you get them or what to look for. Any thoughts?

Has pics and operation. Should give you a good idea what to look for.

Yep super siphons work a treat, your better of getting two, that way you can have one for water and one for fuel. Just make sure you mark them up, I have painted my fuel one black for easy recognition.
