Reason: added pic due to confusion
its simple, open it up and run a hose from that nipple to the other nipple just like it on the other tank, their should be a crossover hose from tank to tank at the top too under your dash
No... If the crossover is attached right to left... I'm thinking that is the Overflow tube from the Filler ... fuel cap area..or Vent as THC has stated..Matter of terminology... but I believe it leads to the Filler neck!!!
Need to look tomorrow, if necessary
