Your car is 20 years old. Rubber pipes and seals can perish and 20 years is a long time. I had a 1993 Morgan and replaced the rubber pipes on the fuel system when replacing a failed pump. I reckoned it was worth while due to the age and deterioration potential. I fitted an extra filter to protect the pump as there was some “crud” in the tank I found whilst flushing it.
Not expensive and straight forward to do. Very much a preventive update.
