Default What to do w/ open vent line in engine bay?

I finally did fuel rails and the Russel fitting that adapts the hard fuel feed line to a braided line. Now this line next to it I assume is a vent or something. Do you just leave this wide open? I do not use a return on my fuel system. I have no use for this line. Should I cap it off maybe? what does everyone do?
Here is a picture of what I'm talking about.

if this is a fbody then its the evap line. Evap should be on the driver side by the fuel rail.

Yes 2000 Camaro. The rubber hose that went to the plastic thing on the fuel rail is in the garbage. No need for it anymore.

No need. Heads/cam Ls1 stock fuel system. I got rails when I switched Intakes so I had to run braided line to the hard line otherwise I would t have even spent the money on that lol.

If you have the stock fuel system you do have a return, its in under the car in front of the fuel filter.

Yes. Factory style return infront of the gas tank. Not engine bay location return off the rail. Guess I'll just cap the thing off and get this thing running.

Was going to ask the same question! Little cap I guess to keep dirt out of the line.

I cut mine on where it comes off the fuel tank and ran a hose into the gas fill area. If not it fills up the car with fumes.
