When a mechanic wants to empty the gasoline tank of a car he fills a plastic tube of gasoline dips one end of the tube into the gasoline in the tank and puts another end into an empty drum placed lowe?

The mechanic is using a siphon to transfer the gasoline from the car's tank to the drum. By creating a pressure difference between the two ends of the tube, gravity helps to move the gasoline from the higher tank to the lower drum. This method is simple and effective for emptying liquids from one container to another.

When a mechanic wants to empty the gasoline tank of a car he fills a plastic tube with gasoline dips one end of the tube into the gasoline in the tank and puts the others why does this technique work?

t will work if only half the tube is filled so a column of air will be trapped between both ends. As the gasoline in the tube flows out of the tube, it pulls the column of air between gasoline and the other end inserted into the tank creating a suction effect. The empty barrel has to be lower because as gasoline inside the tank is drawn into the tube, gravity has to take over to make the gasoline flow downward.

When a mechanic wants to empty the gasoline tank of a car he fills a plastic tube with gasolime and dips one end of the tube into the tank He puts the other end into an empty container which is placed?

It'll have to be at a lower level than the car's gas tank, although, in reality, he would have to remove the fuel tank, disconnect the neck (as modern cars come with an anti-siphon neck), and either place the fuel tank at a higher point than the receptacle, or else use a vacuum pump (with diesel fuel, it's fine to use an electric one, and that's what we do at my shop.. gasoline is much more volatile, though).


If a little Diseal fuel got into the tank will that cause the car to stall if the tank is now near empty?

Try to fill the tank with gasoline and fuel injector cleaner in order to dilute the fuel present in the tank which may be causing the problem.

When a mechanic wants to empty the gasoline tank of a car he fills a plastic tube with gasoline dips one end of the tube into the gasoline tank. Why does this technique work?

OK well first of all the tube has to be lower than the tank for this to work but anyway gravity pulls out the gasoline from the tube into a bucket or can or whatever, and this creates a vacuum which needs to be filled with something, because the other end is submerged in gasoline that is what fills the vacuum, this is a continuous effect until there is nothing with an appropriate mass to fill the void (e.g air)


What happens when you accidently pour transmission fluid in your engine?

Don't start your car. Get a mechanic to come and take out the gas tank in your car. empty it and clean it out. Also clean out the pipes that go to the tank when you fuel your car. If you have started your car you will have to take out your pistons and clean them and clean all of your fuel pipes.
