Unless fuel pump is mechanical...

Disconnect fuel line, extend with pipe to container. Connect
compressed air line to tank filler (wrap some rag/cloth round it to
make somewhat airtight.)
Fuel is displaced out of tank.
Be careful not to overpressure tank.

I rather suspect the pump is in the tank, probably best to drop tank
remove pump and then pump the tank dry.

electric pumps in tanks frequently fail suddenly, sometimes smacking
the tank with a hammer will shock the pump into running.

I have done the same thing on vehicle starters

right...

whack it with a 2x4 and you may get the pump to start..
