I did this to my TR-6 too, once. Then cleaned the tank out..eccch.
A word of advice to those about to apply compressed air to the gas tank: if
you succeed in your aim, gasoline will POUR out of the line. Well, duh, you
say, but I was struggling with mine one evening, and nothing would come out so
I applied air, heard a muffled THUDgurglegurgle from the fuel tank,
straightened up th think "Hm, did that work?" and discovered a new reason NOT
to wear Birkenstocks in the garage.
