If it's on a 'corner' there will probably be a lot of resistance to it pulling out.
Suction probably won't be enough unless in mid panel where it can 'pop' back out.
You can drill a small hole and use a dent/panel puller but then you'll need to plug the hole again properly - don't take chances with fuel, obviously.
Try eBay for a replacement tank?
This is not a rehearsal
