S4R fuel sensor

Hello all

The bike has been sat up for a couple of years and today i thought i would get it back on the road.
Foolishly i did nothing as i was not expecting for it to be sat up.

So on trying to start it....turns over but no firing so i smelt the petrol....craps it smelt bad.

So tank off and fuel drained out of the pipes, there was still some in there so i thought i would drop out the sensor and properly drain the tank and from here it got funky.
The sensor took some pulling to get out and i found it had swollen and split along its length which explained why it was so hard to pull out.

Now i will get a new one but does anyone have any tips on how to release the electrical connection set inside the tank?
