Default These are the tools *not* to use...

I would highly suggest stopping now, and going to Home Depot and buying some steel stock and making the "tool" that others have. We pulled, pushed, hacked, cut, and finally got it out, but it wasn't fun and we had our arms in the fuel tank for a couple hours.

The locking ring cover, or the actual pump in the tank?

IIRC, push down and rotate counter clockwise.
