did you try Methyl ethyl ketone(MEK) or any other paint thinners?

I Replace the tank:( no matter what you use to get it out some will still be left and WILL cause problems in the future.

If the glation floats, flood the tank with water and hope it will flo out the sending unit hole. If not , try and pump it with a pool cover pump.
