They're a bit of a fire hazard. Good that you can see, to be sure, but maybe only as a temporary tuneup measure to see what's in the tank. Steel doesn't burn, break, or crack.

At a very minimum keep it securely zip-tied somewhere that it's not banging or resting on anything hard. But I'd replace it once your other issues are sorted out.
