There is sometimes a mesh type of anti syphon filter deep down in the tank where you normally couldn't reach it. You might damage the filling pipe and cause leaking gas if you try to remove it or break it. These are put there for obvious reasons. Some older cars eg 1970s can be drained from underneath by undoing the plug if you are wrecking your vehicle and want to prevent a fire hazard

Do some cars have siphon bloks The siphon does not seem to reach the gas Is there a kind of screen or block in some cars that prevents the siphon from reaching the gas i.e. 1990 and 1996 Lincoln?
is not so much a syphon block, but a fliter built into the filler hose
Do dodge avengers have siphon blocks?
Yes, you will not be able to siphon gas out of the filler neck.
When did they start putting siphon blocks in vehicles?
Around 1991
How do you remove gas from a gas tank?
The easiest was is to drive the car until it runs out of gas. But a siphon is much faster...however some vehicles are designed with a steel mesh screen inside the filler hose which prevents siphoning...
Why can't you syphon gas from a 1997 Chrysler Concorde?
There is a device in the filler neck that prevents you from inserting a siphon hose.
How can you siphon gas out of a Ford Explorer?
Most newer vehicles have a screen installed in them preventing siphoning of gas.
Can you syphon gas from a Ford Ranger?
A person can siphon gas from a Ford Ranger if the pickup was manufactured before 1999. After 1999, most automobile manufacturers put a baffle inside the filler tube to prevent a siphon hose from reaching the tank.
How do you get past the screen to siphon gas?
The Federal Government along with the EPA decided that it was best to install a check ball in the fuel inlet to prevent spillage in case of a vehicle turning over. So you can not siphon gas anymore.

Can you syphon gas from a 1997 Chevy Astro?
Maybe with a very small hose. There is a spring in the line going to the tank to prevent a normal siphon hose from reaching the tank.
What is an anti syphon valve?
An anti-siphon (or, anti-syphon) valve is a device that prevents liquid from returning to the line from which it came if a siphon action occurs. An anti-siphon device is frequently required on outdoor irrigation systems to prevent possibly contaminated water to be drawn back into the water supply lines if water pressure decreases in the water supply line. An anti-siphon device is not the same as a check valve. A check valve allows flow in only one direction, and requires pressure to function. An anti-siphon valve opens to the atmosphere when there is reduced or no pressure in the line.
