Is it possible to reach into the tank with something (the proverbial bent coat hanger) and lift the float? I wonder if it has just gotten stuck at the bottom somehow.

Thanks.
I had the tank out a while back and turned it upside down (i was clearing out oil that sat in it for 6 years) and I could hear the "float" flop around... I also put a meter on the switch and saw connect/disconnect as I turned the tank upside down and right side up.
My initial question was if folks thought the "float" may no longer float.
