TRUE, tanks made these days are not pressure tanks. Yes there is a tube going from the fitting on the top downside the tank to very near the bottom of the tank. There should be a fine screen at the bottom of the "dip tube" . There is a vent screw on the filler cap,that needs to be opened when running motor .You will have to get a male gas line connector fitting that screws into the side of the top tank threaded hole. all your gas line connecting have to be for a certain motor manufacturer, matches the same brand configuration fitting that is on your fuel line . If you go with OMC Johnson/Evinrude, don’t get aftermarket (Attwood, Seastar, Perko ) fittings . Buy BRP Johnson/Evinrude as they fit better,and don’t leak or suck air .That has been my experience,others have mentioned the same issue.
