Wouldn't the moisture in the tank provide the electrolyte and the rod laying
in contact with the tank provide the connection.  I realize eventually that
the interface would be subject to corrosion, but then isn't that true of every
connection to some degree.

For a sacrificial anode to work, it must be well connected

You need a good electrical connection between anode
& air tank, & also an electrolyte.
