The plastic screen on the petcock? Sure, needle nose pliers. The screen is part of the petcock, but got stuck in the tank w/ gunk. Take the petcock out then dig it out from the petcock hole.
I've just used some Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the gunk off the screen.
Oh yeah, they sell Isopropyl alcohol a whole lot cheaper than the commercial stuff.
