WD40 and some patience. it sounds like the rubber O ring is rusted to both the tank & sender. you may have to get in there carefully with a small screwdriver to push the O ring towards the inside a little so it lets loose.

Be careful with tapping on that tank, what you don't want is any sparks. Gentle prying after soaking with your favorite soaker juice such as WD40 or PB blaster. If you can dissolve the rubber gasket, that will make things easier also, brake cleaner comes to mind.
