Default Gas Tank Questions - 2003 FXSTSI

Need some help with two gas tank questions:

1. Under the tank on front end, there is a short hose connected toeach side of the tank. Is there gas or air in this hose. Ithink I read previously that it has to do with air vent?

2. Does anyone have any experience with the Kuryakyn aircraft style (low profile)led fuel gauge & gas cap set? Do they look good after install (sit flush?)

Thanks in advance.

Thefuel line runs horizontally beneath the tank and is attached to a very small elbow with a silver hoseclamp at each end.
The vent line/hose is attached at the top of the tank, beneath the insturment panel, it runs vertically down and wrapsunder the fuel tank, righthand side.

No experience with Kuryakan, but i did have a couple of HD flush mount led caps. The first series that they put out looked great but the led lights worked like crap. The ones that are out now however look and work great. They install really easy, sit flush and work real well. Hope i helped
