My thing worked well enough but the tank would fetch up at the top every foot or so. Had to hoss it with a bar to get it unstuck and then it would pull up the ramp again. If it had been on appliance dolly i could have hooked onto the handle and it would have come out easier.
Just a thought .... i wonder if KC drained the tank first ? You can open the valve at the bottom to drain it but that doesn't always work. (Sometimes the petcock gets plugged up with sediment.) Best way to know for sure is to completely unscrew it from the tank and then run a coat hanger up in there to clear the opening.
On a hundred gallon tank it would be an extra 800 lbs of water ! (No way two men could move it.)
