Not sure about a mk2 but on a mk1 (probably the same) the outlet in the centre at the bottom is the main fuel outlet to the fuel pump , the small pipe (at the rear inside the boot facing the back panel) is a breather that has a small hose running to the centre of the rear bumper area (takes the fumes from the tank through the boot and out to atmosphere) . There is sometimes a fuel return (fitted to escort sporty models) which returns fuel from the engine back to the fuel sender area at the front side of the tank facing the back seat . You don't need this if using DCOE's so you can block it off with a hose with a bolt in it (bodge) or fit a sender without it from an 1100 or 1300 model .
