or how to pull the sucker thru the hole in the tank without breaking it.. http://prntscr.com/hpsnvx
there is a smaller grommet on the inside of the tank. leave the spring attached i guess, it don't look easy to get apart in there...

An o-ring next to the shoulder of the rubber hose ajacent the bung hole usually will tighten up the connecton too. So long as it's an oil resistant o-ring.
Put some alum on it. It tightens up the old vagine, I hear....
No, Seriously.....

 

[joe kool]

yes but what, just pry it up and out of there? i think the rubber plug is split anyways already.

 

[alexcagle]

Is it leaking from the middle part?

 

[joe kool]

the round grommet type thing, where it plugs the hole from the tank http://prntscr.com/hptj0x

Yep.
Should be designed to pull out with the pickup screen.
There may not be enough space for an o-ring, or enough of a shoulder.
You may need to go the sealer route.
Lacquer thinner will dry it, then use Yamabond 4 or something similar.
That stuff will stick to anything, and dries fast. Way better than auto parts store silicone, and won't distort or dissolve from the oil.
Ebay has it for cheaper.

It all pulls out as one piece from the outside.

thank you both!
i guess i should just order some new lines, LOL i had to look at that outgoing line 3x like hmmm how does it connect LOL

 

[joe kool]

the line going through the tank really needs to be pulled hard, wonder if it was warmer outside would have been easier, thanks again!
