For the love of God... do NOT use a vacuum cleaner 
"He didn't want to get gasoline in his mouth, so he decided to get the suction going by holding the end of the siphon hose up against a vacuum cleaner hose. What this meant, of course, is that he was sucking gas fumes directly into an electric motor, which as you know operates by having sparks fly around inside it. So the next thing Chess Earman knew, there was an explosion inside the vacuum cleaner, and fire was coming out of the back of it "like a jet engine.""

If he uses a vacuum cleaner ... he should video record the whole process and post the unedited version when he gets out of the hospital.
