Why does it need to be cleaned? What kind of dirty is it?

"Junkyards" would be the general answer.

it almost looks like it sat with the cap off for along time. there are a

load of leaves in it. well at least they look like leaves.

Either go get one from the junkyard or keep cleaning. Might be Algae that grew if it sat for a long time. If it was me, I would drop it, pull the sending unit and start cleaning

I think I'd start with a hot pressure washer, and then if that doesn't work move to a murriatic acid solution soak followed with more hot pressure washer...
