Question Major Gas Leak (merged)

Guys, this might be the wrong forum but I have a 94 Suzuki 805 Marauder that leaks gas like a fountain.

I pulled the tank and reclamped the two fuel hoses both to the tank and the valve. I also made sure the over-flow was secure.

While trying to crank the engine I watched for the leak and saw it coming from a hose that seemingly ended in mid-air. I wonder where this hose belongs?!

I've posted pictures here.

A couple of the photos are of a little nozzle that seems to be also leaking gas but the hose that's not connected is nowhere near long enough to make that connection and doesn't appear cut but it does seem slightly flared on the end like it might have been on a connector of some type. Maybe it just had a screw in the end of it blocking the leak?


It's the hose that squirts gas when I start the engine.
