Hello everyone. I am trying to assist a friend bring his 2005 EX250 back to life. Without giving a long winded story, 2 years ago my buddy was working on his bike and had to remove his tank. He walked away from it and while he was gone, someone stole his gas tank. Ridiculous, right?

Well it has taken him 2 years to get the motivation to work on his bike again. He sourced a used tank from Ebay. However upon receipt, we realized that the two tanks are slightly different. The original one had 3 vent tubes at the bottom. This seemed to run to the Evap Canister. However on the new tank he received, it only has one vent tube.

Is this going to be an issue? How can I route the line so that he can use the new tank? I live in florida so I don't need the evap canister, I am not above removing it if need be.

Any advice would be extremely helpful
