Not to nice for sure, you will need to remove the gas tank and have it cleaned or I would just replace it with a used unit. This is because the fuel pump is ruined as well. Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job step by step and diagrams below to show you how to remove the gas tank:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
