    I need to empty my gas tank on my 2003 F150. Why can't I siphon the fuel out of the tank with a hose like we used to do? Is there some sort of a baffle inside the filler neck blocking the way to the tank or have I just lost my touch?

    Yes, there's a valve that prevents two things: syphoning and gas from pouring out of the tank if the vehicle rolls over.

    You can still take the hose loose from the top of the tank, and put the hose in from there.
    Best to use a pump for this
