I very much doubt that you will be able to siphon any fuel out at all - the bends in the filler neck will make it impossible to get a siphon pipe to drop down into the tank.

The best course of action would be to part the main underfloor fuel feed line (there is a connector at the rear of the passenger floorpan, just forward of the tank) and then turn the ignition switch so that the fuel pump operates - you just need the disconnected fuel pipe pointing into a suitable receptacle/fuel can (the pump will only operate for a few seconds, so you have to keep repeating the process, but it is surprising how much fuel will come out each time - it doesn't take all that many repeats to fill a 10 litre can).
