Oh no. Time to sell it.

Should be okay but you can get one of those part pick up tools and get them.

I tried that for about 30 minutes. No luck.
Every time I had it grabbed with the claw it just shredded it into more pieces. That's how corroded/rotted it was.

Any other suggestions or S.O.l.L.?

get a piece of 1 "clear hose 3ft or more, and try to siphon it out with the hose. It should suck it up. Make sure you have a few gallons of gas in the tank

I hope you are kidding. Sucking fuel into something creating sparks?

I get those in the shop all the time. I got one of the hand-squeeze vacuum pumps that are made for cleaning a fish tank. Strain the gas I'm sucking out through a clean shop rag (or coffee filter) and you can even pour the gas back in.

I bought a cheapo siphon and some coffee filters at Wally. If I can see down in there I might try an old turkey baster to suck it up
