Erratic/no start /sumbling on 1980-

Saabers. My b engine began to run poorly commencing last Monday. IT would start sometimes, run fine. then when I turned the engine off..it would not start..prolong cranking...stumbling, and then boom idles/fine. however a bit erratic on the road. I also smelled fuel, so I am thinking this is what is causing this
Then I notice the puddle on the right axle..Yes! the fuel accumulator.
The car has been sitting a few years...The semll I am getting is that varnish scented petrol smell(stale fuel) When I replaced the fuel pump a few days ago, the rubber was like goo/ strong varnish odour.
When I positioned my self underneath the car to peak, the vent line of the accumulator was very gummy/ gooey. The bottom of the tank bloated and sagging.
The questions are: Can a newer tank fit in a 1980 less any modification? A 1987/1988 tank for example?
Second, when I looked in the parts book, it shows the 79/80 fuel accumulators different than the 81 up. Do they all fit?
thanks
