The 120 tank only has the one baffle at the inlet neck so that is not the big issue. If he keeps obstructing his inlet with the kaka, it is likely near the drain and about 8-inches from the sender port (annoyingly far with that little hole).
Water is no big huhu if you treat things properly.
NOOOO scouring powder! Just regular dish soap (liquid type). Using the water as a lube to sluice stuff around is a lot safer than using gas. You could use diesel as it has a much higher flash-point, but it's still a bit caustic on the 'ol hands.
I have the same filler neck issue but my cap seal is bad so I suspect some fuel may be running down the outside of the neck... although I have heard from many people about the joint between the neck and the tank. If mine remains an issue after replacing seals I'll go the KREEM route as I've done that on other tanks with great success.
Gas line anti-freeze will get all the incidental water and the surficant (soap) is no issue.
Last line of defense is to take it out and off to the radiator shop for a full 'tankin' and resolder.
Oh, you may want to blow back into the fuel line from the pump to dislodge any kaka in there, too.
On removing the tank... I ended up having to saw off the (METRIC, 14mm) tap on the side of the tank because the tube-nut (15mm) was so badly corroded to it. Cut mess off pipe with normal pipe cutter and used 8mm fuel line to connect it to a barb (oddly 1/4" IP) set in the tank.
