Gas is a compressed liquid, you normally cannot pump it, once the pressure has reduced that is it. It could also be considered dangerous to do what you are trying

On almost any vehicle manufactured after about 1996 you will be hard pressed to siphon gas out of the tank, Most if not all in the U.S. have check Valves in them, which will not let a hose pass down the fill neck. The only way to do it is to take the tank out completely and pump it out, or at least drop the tank down some to get the fill neck hose off and you might have a chance.
