Let me think - one that empties a 20 litre Jerry can in 30 seconds, or one that requires 'hours' of jiggling wrist action (and no changing hands at 99)

 

Maybe this as a compromise :

Just a few quick jiggles, and once the siphon action has started it keeps going on it’s own.  But it is slow.  A big funnel is easiest.

Whats wrong with a length of hose and a good hard blow.

Because when it is debated it will be presented along the lines of - my constituents have to pay £1.40 a litre to get to work where they are paid minimum wage, most of the tax from fuel is used by the nhs & education, but rich boaters don’t think they should have to pay this tax, effectively they want their hobby subsidised by the working man.

 

I think the petition should have focused more on poor people living on boats, now being charged a tax for keeping warm, that would have generated a lot more support.

 

Completely agree with this.

 

I haven't signed it, the intent isn't clear at all.
