This is the 2015 ford taurus version called an FPIS.

Got a salvage car for parts and it has a full tank of fuel. I cannot get a siphon in the filter neck. Fuel tank is not damaged but kind of trapped in place from the damage to the rear panels and trunk. Here is a photo of engine bay. What is the best way to get this fuel out of the car?

You could use that little funnel thing to get past the filler flaps and send a siphon down through it. Or possibly disconnect a fuel line at or near the rails, hook up a line to a tank and put the key on. Or you might have to jump the fuel pump relay to keep it on.
 
I pumped the fuel out of my 2009 F150 after the crash, by unscrewing the schrader valve core on the injector manifold, attaching a piece of vinyl tubing and running the fuel pump with by removing the relay and using a paper clip. Worked great. Note, I did have to have the key on, and a battery charger on, as my battery was low.
 
I meant to say the vehicle did not sit around and age after it was smashed. The fuel is fresh.

No schreader valve on the fuel rails.

I think I will have to do as suggested and pull the supply / or return line off and clamp a hose over it.
