Subject:What is this fuel hose?

Hey everyone,
After filling up my tank today, i noticed a dripping under my feet. I look
under and see that there is gas dripping down, off of a tube. It is not the
large tube that appears to go straight into the gas tank, but it was dripping from
the skinny tube coming out of the bottom of the large one right at the top.
It goes somewhere I can't see. What is this tube? I have no idea how the gas is
coming out because theres no visible hole, and it doesnt feel like a brittle
hose. The dripping stops after a minute or two. The problem was I didnt notice
until I put in some STP Fuel System cleaner. I hope all of that seven bucks
didnt drip onto the ground. By the way, that stuff made my engine get better
mileage, and run and start smooth every time, so I figured I would get it again.
