Default Fuel tank overflow tube routing

Took the console of of my 08 Street Glide today to remove the tank. Well in taking off the console I failed to pay attention to where the tank overflow tube goes. Does it just coil up under the console an come out of the bottom??? There are two clips under the console to hold it I assume. I looked in the service manual but could not find anything.

So yours just comes out of the bottom of the console under the seat and stops??? I am drawing a blank as to how mine was.

Can anyone snap a pic of theirs without the seat on???

Mine runs under the console down around the battery then out the bottom of the frame behind the oil tank.

That is the vent hose. The one I am talking about is on the right side. It is connected to the underside of the console. There is a little hole under the filler door and that is where the hose is connected to.

That must be the drain line that catches any overflow from the fuel filler.

Necroing an old thread because I don't see the solution. Does anyone have an answer? Removed the tank during my audio install and didn't pay attention to the routing of the overflow line.
