I was getting a gas smell coming from the passenger side and checked posts here that said the Y connector was the likely culprit. I removed the liner and found it to be the case. Unfortunately two of the ends of the Y connector were broken off in the tube. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to remove the broken pieces from the tubes?

Try screwing in a "screw" into the plastic piece that is broken off. While screwing the screw try and pull the screw out.
Hope that helps.

I used an L-Shaped Pick tool to pull the broken piece out of the pipe on each end.

An appropriately sized wood screw - will have some 'teeth' to grip onto the plastic.

Grab a large pair of waterpump pliers (Channelocks) and crush the plastic bits inside the tube. Drain the crumbled pieces out the end of the tube.

I replaced the hard section of plastic hose from the cannister to the Y with a softer piece of emissions hose, and carefully tied all the hoses up so they wouldn't strain the Y any more. See attached instruction for details.

What worked well for me was squeezing end of tube with pair of pliers - the shattered y-connector pieces just drop out

Excellent gentlemen thank you very much!

Try and replace that POS with something sensible if you can- like a 3 way brass gas fitting. they are easy enough to replace but what a crock of a design.
