Tank itself looks quite okay from top, but I'll take it off and check it out. There's some old fuel left in the tank. Pumped out about 10 gallons, but run out of canisters. Some of the fuel lines have been renewed to be compatible with ethanol. Parts of the urethan were bit soft, some were fully dry.
You're on the right track w/fuel lines and all...I've never pulled one of these tanks, but have read enough accounts here of members who have to tell you it's a painful process...unless you are SURE you have to, let me suggest you pump the rest of the old fuel out, remove the sender unit from the top of the tank and use that opening to determine if you can get it clean enough using that opening or if you gotta go ahead w/tank removal...
