I found the following via the 701 Facebook page.

Today we want to reveal something from the tips & tricks Box. Currently the solution connecting a secondary tank through the ventilation of the primary tank is spread over the internet.  This is not a good solution.

Throughout the course of discussions with technicians it has also became very clear, that the 701 has a hidden adapter for a secondary tank.
In other words, Husqvarna has already taken precautions here. Here's a picture of the secret connection.

It goes on to say that you use the tap shown below (KTM part number 58507003200).  This is the same tap used on the 990/1090/1190/1290 tanks.  This is quite a neat and cheap solution as you don't have to buy that adapter block that lowers the fuel pump.

Has anyone here ever installed another fuel connection to the main tank this way?  Do you have to drill into the tank?
