Default where do these pipes go?

I have 2 pipes coming off the water system that are not seeming to go anywhere at the pivot end of the fuel tank. There is one long pipe, connected to a T with a long pipe and a shorter thicker pipe coming off them Any ideas where they route to?

very likely the overflow, are they the thin black tubes that exit below the footpeg area?

the thin one could do, but it's sat by the tank at the mo as i've been looking for somewhere to plug it in. I thought of this, but can't work out where the thicker pipe should go to to correlate with this theory.

Short one plugs in fuel tank and long one goes down by engine and just hangs between engine and frame.

yeah? Why would water be going into the fuel tank? I can see where it would go, just seems weird....

Water will flow down, not up.

Does the other long pipe go to the coolant overflow?

It comes from overflow bottle and than splits two way with T fitting, short end goes to tank and longer goes down and just sits there open. Either water or fuel will flow down on the floor if any comes out of overflow or tank.
