I recently got an early model Super XL-12. The fuel tank was varnished up real bad inside so i decided to take it apart and clean it. The fuel line was just a strip of black tar inside of the tank.
It has a hole which appears to be for a molded fuel line at the top of the tank and also has a brass fitting and copper line coming from the bottom of the tank on the outside. The copper line is pinched off and goes nowhere. The inside of the tank has a felt pad that is attached to the inside port that goes to the copper line.
I'm wondering if the copper line has a purpose or if someone has drilled a hole in the top for a molded line and did away with the copper line which may have been the original line.
Here are some pics:
