Garden hose works for a dire emergency, but a length of clear
plastic tubing is better so you can see how close the gasoline
is to your mouth. A mouthful won't kill ya, but trust me on
this, it really does not taste good. You can buy siphons with
built-in squeeze-pumps at most auto parts stores too.
BTW - sometimes old gas is too cwappy to start a mower,
but okay to run it. In that case, I hit the mower air filter
with a short blast of starter fluid (diethyl ether) and pull
the cord. Trick also seems to work when the plugs are
wet with gas. YMMV, of course.
