I have a Ryobi 31cc string trimmer that was leaking at the bottom of the tank. I sent for a replacement filter and fuel line but when I went to replace it there are 2 holes, not one. I see where the filter and line go but have no clue about the other. There isn't anything in any of the on line parts catalogs that I have looked in. Any suggestions?

One hole is the return/vent line coming back from the carb to the tank. There is usually a little coupler in the tank that it attaches to and dead ends there inside the tank. The other hole goes from the filter inside the tank to the carb. I went to Lowe's and opened the gas cap on a new one to find out how the lines are run. Now if I could just figure out how to make the new lines fit through the little holes in the tank...

Oh yeah. I was typing faster than thinking... the line from filter runs through the primer bulb and then to carb
