Both the supply hose... AND the return hose. They will probably be hoses at least as big as your finger.

So we
So we got both hoses on the main tank plugged off.. still leaking what's in the main tank of course but is that gonna be ok to drive? Is it going to only use the 2nd tank or how's that work? -
I just need to get it to stop long enough to dry jb weld it or use some flexi seal or some #### to seal the leak

It should be ok, like get you from point A to point B. But probably not ok to cross the scales with until you stop the leaking entirely.
Make sure you clean it really good before putting JB weld or epoxy on it, or it might have trouble sticking.CDL CPL Thanks this. -
Will only use fuel from the tank without the plugged lines. You could leave the large line hooked up and it will transfer fuel to the other tank because there is only return fuel to the other tank. That takes a while. If you run it untel that tank runs dry the engine will shut off.
Being as it is a very small leak you need to contain it. Only drive to a safe isolated spot and handle the situation safely. You do not want to polute the world or have fuel cause an accident.
Marine puddy in a tube you kneed together might work but best to just transferr fuel to other tank.CDL CPL Thanks this. -
CDL CPL and BoxCarKidd Thank this.

We got the 2 black hoses plugged. Are these the right hoses? I don't think there is anymore on there.. Is it ok to drive like that? -
CDL CPL Thanks this.

The truck is off at the moment so it shouldn't be sucking fuel from anywhere
