As others have said, do NOT trust a tank that has had unknown fuel in it for 2 years. Drop the tank, clean it and reinstall. If you don’t, you risk chasing issues for the lifetime of the tank. After it’s clean I highly suggest only putting non-ethanol fuel in your onboard tank.

Thank you. I'm not sure of the model either, it is 21' if that helps any.
I do see the lever on the station but haven't found the power switch. Knowing that there is likely a separate power switch is helpful, I'll keep looking.
As for the old tank, that is exactly why I want to get the pump working. I plan to add a few gallons of gas treated with a 4oz:1Gal ratio of seafoam to gas to flush it. Would circulating it using the fuel station cause harm to the fuel station itself? Would I be better off to try and syphon instead? I have no drain and can't drop it myself.
I just replaced the carb on the generator (that only has 5 hours on it!) as it was left sitting after the initial use and clogged. I'm using an external tank with fresh gas and clean lines for now until I am satisfied the main tank is safe.
