Ahh - did you also have your workshop ruined, by the smell of what was inside the tank ?
My car have been standing for nearly 21 years, so the "stuff" I drained was not very nice.
I also soaked my transmitter for an hour, in some WD40, and then carefully started to move the lever arm (very gently) and after a while it came loose, and moved freely again.
I then hooked it up, with a test lamp, and it seemed to be OK.
Then I moved it to the car & tested it again, and it worked fine.
The tank will be removed, dont think I will be able to get the smell out.
It also had a small leak under the fillerneck, and a dent underneath.
Have a nice tank which I am now restoring.
