So what caused the fuel to explode?

The center tank was empty. Fuel didn't explode, fumes did.

“The center tank was empty. Fuel didn’t explode, fumes did.”

Is it true or not that fumes do not build up in the fuel tanks because the tank is vented to the outside of the plane? So it could not have been the fumes.

If you look at the picture of the tank itself why is the tank bowed inward? The source of the explosion came from the outside.

Nope. Didn't happen that way.
