I dont see why you couldnt but im ocd so id rather have the new wires. Internally run all the wires and make it a little project.

I removed the tank, put in new connectors and did it right. Takes a little more time but you won't regret it.

Id just follow the wires back far enough to cut solder and heat shrink them somewhere enclosed and out of the elements. You should be good from there.
