The fuel line and purge line both pass through the wall of the tank and need to be pulled out with some effort from inside the tank through the fuel fill port. Don’t pull all the way through the fuel fill, just enough to install the new fuel line fitting in the return purge line and the new weighted filter on the fuel line and pull the lines back inside the tank. The fuel routes from that filtered line into the carb, then out of the carb to the purge bulb suction side, then out to the return line in the tank with the fitting end.
Kevin I have done a few of these and I always use Tygon 4040-A. It is little bit of a tight fit thru the hole but if you cut a long taper on the end and get it fished thru then it will pull thru easily. On the other end where the fuel filter is attached I spread it with a small pair of needle nose pliers to get the fuel filter on.
