Allan,
Don't worry about the rust in the gas tank. There is rust in every gas tank with the exception of the ethanol tanks. Go look at a brand new tank, they are rusty inside. Drain the diesel that's in there. Install new filters and hoses (stick with 1", at least on the diesel) and you have that covered. On the left tank, also put an elbow on so the hose hangs naturally, it will last longer. Make sure both tanks have valves on them in case you break a hose you don't lose a whole tank full. I would put on new valves, these are likely to drip. Make sure they are made for petroleum. I like the 1/4 turn ball valves myself, but they are about $20 for an inch one. You don't need to worry about those tanks moving - they won't, even though they aren't bolted down. As far as structure, about the only thing you need to worry about is the wood planks that the stands sit on. If they are rotted or non-existant, the stand could settle one way or the other and topple. I would slope the tanks slightly to the rear so any junk settles to the back and doesn't plug your filters. I would also buy the spin on filters and not the cartridge style with the plastic bowl.
