It sounds like you could use an owners manual. I think the tank you're looking at is the cold start assist. It would normally have anti-freeze solution in it. Most people remove it.

An 88 with >100k miles in florida - use 20w50 regular (not synthetic).

That is normally caused by leaky injectors. Run a bottle or two of injector cleaner through the gas, and it should idle & start better also.

You might want to check your pulsation damper which tends to leak fuel and cause ENGINE FIRES. Are you nervous now? You should be.
