Practice syphoning by mouth using water, to avoid swallowing too much gas on the learning curve. All those lovely electric pumps will be out of commission.

Don't do that!

There are alternatives!

Hand cranking siphons suitable for gasoline are super easy to use. Just find and acquire one when doomsday hits.

All those kids (& adults) stealing gasoline from unlocked gas tanks do so with such fairly inexpensive equipment ;-)
