I think the left hand picture from left to right is: Fuel line to engine, Uniflow to muffler pressure or vented into airstream, and fill line.

So I fill the tank till fuel comes out of the vent. Won't the fuel run out of the line to the engine? I guess you clamp that line?

New to C/L flying so these tanks are a bit of a mystery as to what goes where? The tank is a Brodak BH-487

That tank has to be over 1/2 full or the pick-up is out of the fuel. Not like an RC Tank! HA! Fueled up and engine was back to running condition.

The feed line is on the left, it should run out into the peak of the wedge, the middle line should be the uniflow line, it should run out into the wedge just short of the feed line. The line on the right is an overflow line it should go to the top of the tank. Fill via the uniflow line till the over flow runs out, then cap the overflow.
You can probe this tank with some coper wire. Stick it in a line and see how far it goes, tap the wire and you will feel where the end is.
