Default Fuel lines question - 3 lines running through car

Hi, when stripping the Impreza down ready for its roll cage I also had to remove the fuel lines running through the car. These are being replaced with braided nitrile lines tot he boot anyway.

I've never worked on a car with 3 lines before, but from past experience I can identify what two of the lines are, feed from pump and return from FPR.

The third doesn't seem to have held any fuel from what I can see and can only assume its some sort of closed loop breather or similar.

Can anyone conform this and if it can blocked off when I put the boot mounted tank in please?

Many Thanks

Thanks desster81. I have noticed a box under the boot floor next to wheel well, will take a look tomorrow.

Sounds like an emission control thing which can be deleted easily hopefully.

With a boot mounted tank all you need is a feed line and a return line -6 assuming you are using external fuel pump and filters.
