I will repeat myself one more time. Leave the black valve open, put the cap on the end of the run and go take the rig for a drive. Very likely it will bounce and follow the slant of the tank and then the pipes. Very possible when you take the end cap off, it will be right there.
I know you said it won't make it past a 90 elbow, but that is impossible in my mind. If it fits in the toilet all the other pipes are the same size.
Also you stated "other" stuff is coming out, that tells me you need to do some work above and beyond the flushing fitting.
But are there any 90 degree turns from the toilet to the tank? It may go through a gentle curve but not a 90 degree turn. I've been playing with the Pythagorean theorem here, and it seems something an inch or so in diameter and even 6" long wouldn't fit through that corner.
Nonetheless, it seems a reasonable experiment to try before tearing into it.
Could it be that the Pythagorean theorem is based on 2D concepts, and you have a 3D problem.
When referring to the Pythagorean theorem, I intended an emoticon that I left off ;) Nonetheless, I still wonder how long an item and what diameter item will go through a 90 degree elbow.
But I'd try every option before pulling the tank. Grin ;)
