Most vehicles have anti-siphon baffles inside of the pipe leading to the tank. They're designed to turn the hose away before it ever touches gas. SOMETIMES you can work past those by twisting the hose around as it passes down the filler neck. To do this, you have to have a rigid enough hose to be able to twist. Plastic of some sort...

Otherwise, it might be easier to try to drain pressure of the fuel rail under the hood. Most vehicles have a fuel pressure check port on the fuel rail for diagnostic purposes. Sometimes you can tap into that and bleed fuel off there. The good part about using that port is it's under pressure and most times you can capture it into a bucket fairly easy.
 
i think cars have some sort of anti-syphone device at the fuel tank so you probably wont be able to get it.
but stick a hose in again,put your lips tightly round one end of the hose and blow to your hearts content,watch for fuel flying up or you'll have a nice taste in your mouth afterwards

p.s remember to mix in your 2 stroke
