This kit replaces the gauge sender gasket and the filler hose and seals. It 
does not include the overflow hose which is almost certainly the part you need.

The best thing you can do is to mock up something to replace your current 
overflow hose, which is cracked or broken. I have not yet found a good solution 
to this problem. The original parts are NLA and aftermarket replacements are 
not as good as they should be.
