When I removed the crude the tank had a hole
rusted in it.
So I would suggest cleaning under that guard
to see if you will need a new tank.
It's probably ok (But) it just takes a minute to check.
So the main tank gauge works fine, but the aux did not. It would just peg straight to the 3 o clock position as soon as you flipped the switch. The ground strap looked intact when I pulled it. Uncertain about the wiring up to the gauge though, I haven’t really chased that wire out yet. I pulled the plastic guard and thoroughly scrubbed the tank, it’s in good shape, inside and out, but yeah there was a ton of crud resting under that guard.

But as far as that breather on the second port, does that look kosher?
