'95 Chevy Lumina Siphoning Problem

On my '95 Chevy Lumina car the fuel pump went out, and I have 3/4 a tank of fuel in it. I need to siphon it out because it's to heavy to drop down the tank. I've tried two different hoses but both of them get stuck about 3 or 4 feet in but not touching fuel. How long does the hose need to be to reach the fuel? What could be blocking it, because I don't believe the '95 model has an Anti-Siphon feature?

Please Help
and Thank You in advance

What size hose?

I always use 3/8" and manage to find the fuel....there is a restriction but I couldn't tell you what size it is.

I believe the hose is 3/8" but it might not be... Is yours a '95 Lumina?

Thanks

Don't feel bad, '91 you can't even get a 1/4" hose through.
