Got a car that's off to the scrappy tomoro and I want the half tank of petrol that's in it!

Its been sitting for about 2 months, is it still good?

How do I go about getting it out, can't find any tubing long enough and haven't got time to get some. Are there any other methods?

MK3.5 fiesta by the way
