I don't think contact cleaner would do the rheostat unit any harm. It might flush out old gum or rust accumulation.

In the interest of reliability, it would be best to have the unit rebuilt by someone equipped to do it right. The tank unit element is subject to mechanical wear from gasoline sloshing and car motion, and old ones are usually more or less crudded-up. It may work well for years, or it may not last a day on the road.
