Ok, got a clean, non-leaking tank but the petcock is plugged up.  Trying to remove it but the dang thing is stuck.  I did manage to get one bolt out but only after drenching it with PB Blaster.  The other bolt is starting to strip.  I am leaving it to soak overnite.  If it does not come out, any ideas?  

My thinking is that whatever sticky stuff was in there plugged up the petcock.
