use a thiner hose, using a garden hose just fills your lungs with fumes! if its clear so that you can see the petrol coming its better aswell, because if you get a mouth full you will be breating the smell for about a week, no matter how much you brush haha!

Most cars have a ball and cage in the end of the filler pipe to stop you putting a pipe in.

Just hook the fuel pump upto the battery, and use that to pump it out.

To syphon: -

Put hose in whatever you want to syphon. Make sure other end is lower than what your syphoning out of.

Suck on the hose, and then it will flow out by itself once you pull it through enough.

Some fuel tanks though have whatsits in so you can't syphon out. Not sure what cars though.
