Default Line Question

I was working on my 81 and I accidentally snapped the line that goes over the rear tire well attached to the top of the frame on the drivers side. It looks like it goes to the gas tank. It is a 1/4 inch steel line. Does anyone know if that is a fuel line or an evaporation line? It is easy to fix just curious what it is.

Drivers side is the vent line. You should be able to patch it with a section of rubber hose. (Rated for use with gasoline).

I can confirm that 81 has the vent line on the driver side.
