Cleaning original fuel sender

I pulled the fuel tank out of my 64 dart today and found pinholes in it. The good part though is the original fuel sender actually tests perfect. The sender has a little rust and is kind of chalky.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to clean it up? I thought about soaking it in evaporust, but I don't know if it will screw it up.
