    A rather dumb question…

    is this the hose in the top of the tank and another dumb question … does this go to the radiator?

    That happened to me a couple weeks back after i hit a big ### pothole.. Had my buddy bring me a new tank and i fixed it in the parking lot.. Im curious . how were you able to temporarily fix this? I tried everything to glue that broken piece back but nothing would stick together.
