when you take the cap off, the stick is suppose to pop up from the tank, if its full. maybe its just stuck?? stick a screwdriver in there maybe.

I suppose it could have gone down into the tank far enough to get caught on the rim. Try sticking a gloved finger in there and checking around the rim.

That reminds me that I haven't seen Fletch in a while...
