Default Question about fuel pump line inside tank.

What is this line(Red circles)? and more importantly is it under any pressure.

My guess was it fills the cup up with fuel, or sucks the fuel out of the cup.

Thats what the plan was, but i just wanted to find out some info on it before i did anything. I'd hate to get everything together, just to have to drop the tank in the future because something went wrong with this little line.

Thanks for the help and info!
