Is there any tips to Siphoning out my gas tank? I blew the engine in my talon and want to put the gas into my truck. when i put the hose for the Siphoning into the gas tank it just stops like its being blocked...and it doesn't reach the gas. Any tips to getting it out?
 
There is a plastic one way valve in the filler neck. Its located where the metal fill tube stops and rubber hose starts and continues to the gas tank. What i do to drail tanks from cars i have parted out is to Remove the fuel line from the tank, clamp on a length of fuel line and run it into a gas tank. You can jumper the fuel pump relay to allow the fuel pump to do the work for you and empty the tank. This is assuming you have a good battery in the car.
