Take it to radiator shop and have them boil out the tank and reseal the inside and blast and repaint the outside. I've been through this and my advice to you is (since it's already off the car): PeruLincoln - What year, make and model do you have? How long have you had it? I trust you'll have the tank blasted clean at a shop? That's the way to go, and it should not cost that much to do. Plus, if the debris screen is deteriorated as I suspect it to be, you'll have no debris protection for the fuel pump. The low-fuel sensor is very likely toast, so you'll have no warning when your tank supply is low, even if the rest of that circuit is intact. The sender could possibly be cleaned, but with replacements available from the Usual Suspects (e.g., Mark II Enterprises) it would probably be more practical to just replace it. I can see that a piece of old hose is still attached to it. It should have a rubber hose running from it, strapped to the spring connection point. The junction on the axle is a breather/drain for the axle, to help relieve pressure that may build in there as the axle spins, and to expel excess gear oil just in case too much is in there. More knowledgeable folks may verify or refute it.or, since you have the tank fully off, measure it yourself with a caliper. I never measured mine, but I'm thinking the tube's outer diameter is not more than 1/8". Did it break at the weld point on the tank? If not, then you should be able to fix it with the right size of fuel hose. The shot showing the vent tube makes me wonder if it's broken.

In fact, many of our Usual Suspects sell through there.

If nobody can provide, then go online for me E-Bay has been a good source for stuff I cannot get locally. Check your local options first, as they may have what you need just carry a broken bolt with you to show them what you need. You should be able to find new strap bolts, if not in the HELP! section of your local part stores, then online.
