Having problems draining fuel

So the title explains it I’m having trouble with siphoning the fuel, I’m trying to do it because I believe there’s water in the tank. I’m using a pennzoil transfer pump. The line isn’t going all the way to the tank. Idk if there’s a method to it or I’m stupid. Any advice would help.

An anti-siphon device was installed in the fuel filler tube in most vehicles since the late 1980s. The Internet may give you tips on how to bypass it, but there are risks due to the possibility of sparks, fire and explosion. 

Others may weigh in on how to drain the tank.

Also, go to the "How to Guides", drive train, then fuel system, for some discussion on the fuel system.

You could disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter, put a piece of hose or tubing pushed onto the disconnected line to a container big enough to hold all the gas. Then connect 12volts to the green connector under the hood to supply power to the fuel pump until the tank empties. Reatta Owners Journal - Fuel Pump Prime Connector Location
