To empty fuel tank you can use plastic tube filled with gas how does it works?

Cohesion is what would make gas or another liquid "climb" the tube, forming a curve at the top of the liquid, or menuscus.
A siphon works differnetly. The gas or other liquid will flow from a higher level to a lower one directly due to gravity, of course. In a completely liquid-filled tube, the liquid will still flow from higher to lower, provided that the liquid doesn't separate at the high point, leaving a vacuum. As long as air pressure is high enough to push the liquid up the tube (rather than create a vacuum), and the tube doesn't collapse, the liquid can be siphoned over the "hump" to a lower level.

2001 Chevy silverado fuel gauge will show empty after I have filled the gas tank. When I start to drive it will start to work sometimes. It seams to fix it self when the fuel lowers to about 34?
You fuel float my have a hole in it or be fuel logged.Replacement is advised.
Why does your gas gauge keep going to empty after you filled it?
It sounds like you have a fuel sender problem. Without more info it is hard to say but they are usually accessed on top of the fuel tank and are part of the fuel pump assembly.
My fuel gauge was three quarters full then twenty miles later showed empty. I filled it with eighteen gallons and it holds thirty one. Why does your fuel gauge show empty all the time?
probably no gas, if there is gas then your gauge in the tank is broken or frozen

What could be causing a fault in your 2002 RAV4 instrument panel as the speedometer will not register and the fuel level ranges from empty to about a quarter full?
I have a problem with my 2 door Toyota rav4 2002 fuel gauge. it reads empty when in fact it is partly full. When filled up at pumps it then reads only half full. What can I do to fix this.
What would make the fuel tank say empty when you just filled up the tank?
It could be that the gauge itself is not working, or it could be a bad sensor. The sensor in older cars is a float which could become stuck, especially if the tank was emptied completely. A blown fuse for the instrument panel will make the tank show empty (or full in some cars). If the car is still not running and the tank shows empty while it is really full, then the fuel pump may be defective. You could not have filled it up all the way.
What causes empty fuel filter?
Lack of fuel. Either the tank is empty, or the line from the tank to the filter is clogged.
If you have an empty airplane tank and filled it up at circle k gas station how long would it take to fill it up?
You need to specify the size of the tank and the rate of flow of the fuel.
How do you fix a fuel gauge problem on a 1994 Dodge Caravan SE where is shows as full when tank is filled but goes to empty within a few miles?
I would start by suspecting that the vehicle has a bad fuel level sender the only ggod way to tell is to plug the scan tool from the dealer on to the vehicle. They have test were they can Sweep the gages if it works there then the fuel level sender is most likely bad or wiring, but most likely the level sender.
Does the fuel tank have to be empty to replace the fuel pump?

The sending unit in the fuel tank is failing, not uncommon. Unfortunately the fuel tank must come down to gain access to the assembly.
