I bought hoses at Home Depot but how do they connect to the gas tank?

There's a black connector half way up (one way valve?) so it's easy to
connect to the carb but how do I make a watertight gas tank connection?

Is there something inside the gas tank that holds them in place?


The hoses are a tight slip fit in the holes in the tank . The supply
line will usually have a filter on the inside end . I install them by
cutting the end of the hose at a long taper to get it started in the
hole , pull it in as far as needed with long nose pliers or a hemostat
then cut it off square and install the filter. The return hose needs
only to come inside the tank , supply needs to be long enough to reach
the bottom of the tank - unless you only want to use the top half ...
