Default Walbro Veturi Question

I have dual intank walbro 255's.....I just noticed that my second pump has a brass fitting on the top that I have not hooked up.......my bucket is cut to fit the two pumps......so what should I do with the brass fitting...?

1. Leave it open
2. Block it off
3. Run a line from it to the bottom of the bucket
4. Replace it with a non venturi pump

Block it or get the correct pump it is a leak in your system if not used correctly.
