I installed my Drake tank on my round front bowl tonight for the umpteenth time (second tank -- first had constant slow leak from left tank bolt that after five tries we gave up on and traded in at the plumbing supply we got it from) after taking off the flush valve nut, sanding down the tank, and putting it back. (This is the second try with this tank...first try had tiny slow leak coming from center area so I'm hoping that sanding and retightening will solve it. Bolt holes were sanded before the first try, I learned my lesson.) When I hooked everything back up the chain wasn't long enough to allow the pink flush valve to seal up and the tank to fill. Took the chain off and added a link...and discovered this 1.5" long piece of plastic tube at the bottom of the tank. Oops.
Other than my many times removing and putting the tank back on to solve the leak problems, I know zip about the toilet innards -- what is this piece and where do I need to put it back? I think it may have slipped off the chain when we added the link, but maybe not. Hopefully I don't have to empty it and take the tank off again...
Picture attached.
TIA.
