there ' maybe stuck at the top of the tank' take your air hose an blow it out the best you can first' also power washer works at times also. then it may suck out a little better.

Haven't worked on a red H tank but the tanks I have messed with had some sort of baffling in them.  get a light in there and look forward to see if you are looking at a big butted baffle in there where things hide behind.

Dave is right the H tank has baffles in it. I would try holding it up side down and put an extension on your air nozzle to reach way in the tank. I wonder if children have been playing up there in the past? Maybe a weasel made a birthing room.

gee I can't see why you're 'baffled' with the tank, though it 'leaves' a lot to be desired, it has to be a fun project....Big smile
maybe duct tape the vacuum hose on the filler stem AND blow compressed air in where the gas comes out ? if you can move the air nozzle around to blow ,here,there, everywhere should help dislodge the leaves.the big thing is the leaves have to be dry for this to work.
