Default Syphon fuel from tank

Is there any anti-syphon device/blockage that prevents syphoning fuel via the fill tube? I want to remove some stale fuel so looking for some advice/tips.

Would try another much faster way myself
Remove the rear seat, to access the fuel pump openings, to pump the fuel out.

No, there is not, at least there was none on my SV8. I used an electric pump to syphon the fule from the tank because I neede to replace the fuel pumps and the tank, of course, was full...




Best regards,

Thomas
