Late to the party . . . but
Get a small hand pump meant for oil/gasoline. It will create enough suction to open the anti-siphon valve.
#1 is your vent (allows air to go into the tank as fuel is used)
#6 is a spare tap, most tank will have a spare, sometimes it is used as a return fuel line (diesels)
Top of the tank looks typical, inside looks OK, it is the bottom and ends of the outside that you should be concerned with.
Below #3 is the 'certification label'. It has information about the tank. When made, thickness & type of aluminum, capacity.
If your fuel tank is 20+ years old, it would be worth pulling for a complete inspection.
