I'm pretty sure there is a screen between the end of the filler neck and the tank .

I know for a fact that it I could not get it to work/siphoning out of my 00R while back when I had too much gas in it and I was trying to go to the strip...... I just couldnt get it to come up the tube and I ended up very very dizzy
