Apparently modern fuel tanks have a check valve where the filler neck and vent meets the tank to prevent the gasoline from spilling out in a rollover. No it's not on any of the parts diagrams, so I am assuming it is integrated into the fuel tank itself. If you look up "how to siphon fuel from a modern car" you will see that a lot of people encounter this problem and the solution is usually to use a 1/4" OD tube. I had a 3/8" tube and while I did seem to make it fit through the valve it had too much resistance to get it further into the tank.
Edit:. To answer the first question, yes, I need a thinner and longer tube for siphoning. Not sure why I said hose lol.
