So, I pulled my fuel sending unit only to find it CAKED with "rust"... Is there a way to clean it and get conductance back into the strip of metal feeding the sending unit? I think I am going to commit to buying a new tank, but I am just unsure on what to do with the sending unit assembly...WCCC says a used unit is much better than a repro ($75 vs $30)...months ago I already bought new float, filter and gasket, so if there is a reliable way to repair my existing one, I would like to...or is it just better to buy one that is known to work?
HELP, please... Thank you!
Here are some images of this rusty mess:

Appears to be no electrical conductance:
