Default Fuel line/cover question

Why is there an extra fuel line and cutout on my 98? Was this done to the 97's and 98's only? I'm assuming that they tucked the second line under the cover after 99? Just curious..

You must be thinking about the return line................Early models had the return line system where the newer didnt!

I believe the return line goes back into the gas tank.

I believe most FI guys actually like the 97/98 fuel system better...

i cant remember why though...maybe it was better or more constant pressure?
