How much fuel was in the tank?

It maybe the pump itself leaking not the tank. Is it a stock pump or aftermarket?

What shape are the hoses in?

Who cares what shape the hoses are in? Replace 'em anyway. Chances are pretty decent this will fix the leak, and if it doesn't they probably needed it anyway...
