Sounds like the float is either bent, broken, or stuck.

Unfortunately the only way to look at is by dropping the tank.

You might have trash in the tank.

It's not too bad. I do recommend having a helper.

You'll want to get as much fuel out of the tank as possible to make it lighter.

I'd recommend dropping it like what this fella did, and then using a hand pump and draining it.

The less fuel the better...
