Default Brake line...hose???

Replacing the lines from the ABS because they rotted just at the spot where they come out and bend to go along the floor. There is a line there that I don't know where it goes but it has a little piece of rubber hose conected to it(looks factory) The hose looks soft and broken. Does anyone know what this line/hose is and what type of rubber tubing that is.
Thanks

The line is a vent for the fuel tank & eventually connects to the charcoal canister in the LF. I used a piece of rubber vacuum hose to replace the dry rotted hose @ the back of the ABS housing.
