Got an issue. I pulled the gas tank but pulled the thick tube out with it and now i dont know what it connects to. Can someone help? Its the thickest tube running to the gas tank but where does it connect to on the other end?

 

Not to worry, it doesn't go anywhere. That's the overflow/drain tube. It's used for if you over fill your tank, or spill gas near the gas cap. It just goes straight down.

It's item #22 here.

 

There are 3 connections on the tank.

The one off of the petcock (valve) goes thru the fuel-filter and then to the fuel pump.

Then there are 2 others nibs, on the bottom of the tank, grouped together,
one about twice as big as the other.

The larger is the fuel-over-flow (from the gutter around the fuel-cap).
The smaller is a tank vent.

Both of these are connected to hoses that go-straight through the frame, to the ground.
There is no 'other-end' connection to these hoses.

The larger of the two (the fuel over-flow) may have a plug/cap on the end.
This allows you to collect and safely discard the over-flow that has accumulated
in the line. Often this plug/cap has been discarded/lost. If it's there, you should
remove it occasionally to drain the line.

If you're a real 'tree-hugger', you might substitute something for that cap,
to avoid the over-flow being deposited on the road (if it is missing).

Hope this helps, Ern

 

Oh OK thanks guys that was very helpful. I was stressing thinking I pulled the line out of something. Didn't want to put gas back in the tank and it start spewing out everywhere
