Found this pipe tucked away in a hollow in the hollow offside structural member- cant be a fuel return - what is it???

While sorting out the ex Mark Fish Motorsport 182 I came across a pipe with 90 degree connector tucked away inside the structural offside member just below the headlight assembly passing through a grommet. Upon tracking it back it follows the fuel pipe back under the car and then disappears up in front of the fuel tank alongside the fuel feed. I assumed it was a fuel rail return pipe but cant see what it was connected to. The car has the standard fuel rail. The car starts/runs with it as found. Any ideas and why it would be disconnected/hidden away [assumed redundant] ? :unsure:

PS: The taut red wire is for the horn - its got an aftermarket crimp spade connector so will chase it back as the steering wheel is changed and no airbag/horn yet the car is MOT'd :unsure:

It's for the carbon canister. Mines been removed for massive brake ducting and I've left mine venting to atmosphere

It's only for fuel vapours from the rank to be passed through a charcoal filter so it doesn't ruin the planet

Thanks for the replies. :) The car has had a number of modifications/additions and this is my first time with a Clio so not aware of what everything is [or was]

The car has brake ducting, I've temporarily removed the duct pipe from the front vent and also the diverter to the brake caliper/disc.
