I would say no. You don't want to try and modify tanks because of what they contain! If the fixing are the same, no problem, you can use a Y Connector to fix the drain holes issue. It is needs mountings attaching, then the answer is no.
No i would not expect it to, if anything blocking the vent hose to the gas tank would cause a vacuum and stoping fuel from flowing as easy , most likely a faulty fuel pump diaphram or incorrect float height.
- Take the seat off. - Unscrew the two bolts holding the back of the tank. - Remove (unscrew) the petcock handle. - Lift the back of the tank. I'm not sure the air filter can be accessed without removing the whole tank. If you have to remove it, it just slides back and up - there are no screws in the front of the tank. Pay attention not to disconnect the hoses/wires if you are just lifting the tank, or disconnect them all if you have to take the tank off. - Unscrew and remove the battery cover if necessary. - Unscrew the airbox cover (two screws in top corners). - Pull the airbox cover back and remove it. It's held at the lower end by two plastic "teeth" - no screws. - Remove the old filter and put in the new one. - Put everything back in reverse order.
Refer to the microfiche above for parts layout. This is a simple procedure that shouldn't take more than 30 minutes even with tank removal.
One hose will go to a vacuum source and the other to the fuel tap. The idea is that fuel will not run until the diaphram in the back of the Petcock is pulled back by vacuum. Prime the engine first and then swap over when the engine fires up.
