Where should the end of this hose go behind the fuel filler
I removed my wheel arch and a small hose fell out, it looks like it’s come of the back of the fuel filler. I have attached it to what looks like a drain and a return hose. Any ideas before I put the arch back in?

No! Don't connect it there. The small drain at the back of the fuel filler is to allow overspill drain away when you are filling at the pumps. The long pipe is the rear diff breather!! If you leave that connected you will end up draining water and diesel into your rear diff!!!
Remove the tape and separate the two pipes, the long pipe sits into a clamp on the other side of the filler pipe which you will feel with your hand.

Legend, I had a funny feeling that might be a breather. But, then I thought surely fuel would not just be allowed to leak out! Thank you
