on your aux tank there are two lines, one is a vent and the other is a siphon (should have a pipe that goes to the bottom of the tank) the siphon is hooked to your stock tank vent, and as you draw fuel out it creates a vacuum on the front tank, pulling fuel out of the aux. the second line on the aux tank is your vent.

I went to your link, here is what was said in the advertisement.


"If you choose to use the siphon kit, it plugs into your breather from the fuel tank, and draws fuel from Aux tank into the main tank."
