You can buy a fluid pump at Walmart for $10 and just pump the fuel out into Jerry cans.
I agree on the Stabil treatment.

You can get nice jackstands at NAPA. Any will do though.

It's an M103. The break is near the spark plug end, so maybe I can just reattach that end. The metal part is shorting out against the head.
