It's been a long time since I've had mine off,  but from memory,   the one attached to the fuel assembly (the gold colored oval-shaped bolted-in apparatus) is the pressure line from the fuel pump--  that line should have a quick-connect attachment that just pushes on and clicks.  I think (but I'm not positive) the other 2 are just overflow drains / vents that have hoses that are held on with the little springy wire hose clamps - and they just go down through the frame to the ground.  I think they just go up through (internally) the tank to the fill cap, and one is for overflowed/spilled fuel, and the other connects to a vent in the fuel cap.   You can test this by blowing air through them.    If I'm right, then it doesn't matter which one is connected to which hose (other than length and how they fit, regarding bends and such).... they will both go to atmosphere at the bottom of the frame.   If I'm wrong, one could be a fuel return line ----   but I dont' think the bike has a fuel return.

I made an account on here. Still have not really been able to figure it out without going through trial and error.  I've attached pictures.

From memory..the elbow one connects to the one on the left side nearest the fuel line connector and the other is at the rear of the tank and both vent to the bottom in front of the rear wheel.

'02 Vulcan Drifter 1500

I can't figure out what fuel lines go where on my 99 drifter. Does anyone have any pictures of the bottom of their fuel tank? There's 3 attachment points for lines that were pulled off directly on the tank. And I have a line of with an elbow end on one side. Email me for pictures if you can help. jasonlhubbell@yahoo.com
