Never try to remove that drain plug. Most are stuck beyond belief, and trying to remove it will just cause the threaded bung to break loose from where it is soldered to to the tank. Then you have bigger problems.

If you knew a child with small enough hands, they may be able to slip a piece of fuel line over the pick up tube to seal any hole in it. Other than that, you would have to cut an access hole in the top of the tank, repair the pickup tube and then weld it back up. (Fill the tank with water first!!!!)
