It doesn't create a vacuum. I can't give a great explanation, but its because there are pressure differences between one side and anther. Where the liquid is coming from has to be higher up than where the liquid ends up, although there can be ups and downs in between the two points.

When will siphon will fail to work?
Siphon will fail to work if the level of the liquid in the two vessels are at the same height.
What does a siphon do?
a Siphon kills victims to survive or he/she live forever
What laws of Physics allows a siphon to work?
A siphon is technically powered by gravity. Once a tube is flowing, if there is more volume of fluid being dropped to a lower level, the gravity can take over and continue the flow. From the fluid escaping from the outbound side, it develops a negative pressure on the other side that continues to supply the fluid to drop with, and continuously take advantage of the gravitational weight. The friction of the fluid will eventually stop the siphon, but if the tube is dropping down low enough from the original liquid source, the extra gravity force can keep it going forever.
A simple device for moving liquids over obstacles without a pump?

Can a siphon work in a vacuum?
In theory yes, practically far as I know is no. Though the force to pull liquid through siphon is gravity but atmosphere provide very important part as well. Atmosphere help push the liquid to surface, in this case, siphon tube wall. Without atmospheric pressure the liquid can only rely on its' surface tension and intermolecular force to keep pulling the liquid from higher reservoir in chain-like manner. It may help if the liquid had extra binding to the wall like mercury on copper tube. Additional problem to concern if the liquid is too viscous, though it can form chain pulling effect but the viscosity itself will prevent the falling. The atmospheric pressure help keep liquid in liquid phase. With zero pressure, either the liquid become gas by boiling or freeze from continue losing energy by evaporation process. I think it would be very extremely impossibly hard to find such ideal fluid for siphon to work in vacuum.

How do you siphon gas out of 1998 Chevy Silverado?
Super Siphon kit available at auto parts should work,

Need advice on how to siphon gas 97 GMC?
The best, fastest and easiest way is to let the pump siphon it for you directly from the big tanks. Go to your local gas station and pay, then the pump will do all the work for you. :-)
How do you siphon gas out of your 1998 dodge caravan it has an internal fuel pump?
There is an anti-siphon valve in the filler neck. You can not siphon.
How do you siphon fuel from a 2006 Chevy Equinox that does not allow complete insertion of a siphon hose due to an anti-siphon device?
you cant
Can you give me the word siphon in a sentence?
The siphon is not your normal drinking glass.
How can you siphon gas out of a 2000 dodge caravan?
You can't. There is an anti-siphon ball in the filler neck.You can't. There is an anti-siphon ball in the filler neck.
How do you fix the siphon in your septic tank?
If you are having trouble with a bell siphon, you will need to replace it with a Flout dosing device. The Flout does not need a level tank to work correctly, only level water. And you don't need to replace the tank, just the bell siphon. Check this link for pictures. http://www.flout.net/rissyplastics2/id13.html
Can you siphon from a gas can into the gas tank?
Yes, but the can must be higher than the far end of the hose. Siphons work by gravity.
How do you siphon fuel from dodge intrepid?
You can't, there is an anti siphon valve in the filler neck.
