New coolant tank doesn't fit

I got a new coolant tank to replace my leaking one for my 2003 S. It is the clear plastic model that is taller than the stock one. Only problem is it only has one hose hook up. The original has a small hose at the top of the tank and a larger one at the bottom. And the bottom hose is about twice as big as the pipe on the bottom of the new tank. I've seen this tank listed for 2003 S models on several parts vendor sites. What do I have to do to hook it up?

Will it work at all?

Thanks,
