    Gas gangs use custom trucks to steal

    WKMG LOCAL 6 NEWS
    ​

    ORLANDO, Fla. -- Several arrests involving custom-built trucks with hidden trapdoors used to siphon hundreds of gallons of gasoline may be linked to an organized crime ring targeting stations.

    You don't siphon from an underground tank. You pump.

    Wouldn't your truck have to be at a lower level than the underground tank in order to siphon?
