I would consider replacing the valve with a tee and putting ball valves on both sides. PVC fittings would be very reasonable. Some green paint and nobody will know.
Fuse is on +24 volt side. It’s possible your tank has 1” of spooge in the bottom, did you check for that? You should be able to hear the pump run, if not, it’s not getting electricity.

Winch is definitely not the primary reason. Same purpose as M151 M715 etc, you move the rear tie down shackles to the wheel end to provide a tie down point on rail cars, airdrop pallets, C130/C17 etc.
That “winch” idea comes from a WWII era FM.
