Edited the title to reflect the new questions regarding the fuel tank. Trying to figure out what is inside this tank. I believe strong that it was sitting in storage since 1981, and so if it was a previous tank liner it might be very old.

Replacing the fuel hoses today and doing the lines by the tank. The port on the fuel tank that accepts the return fuel hose seems a bit loose. If it was weld on there, then I fear maybe the joint is weakened and could fail.
