Default Crushed fuel line (Whats it go to/do)

Alright so I was under my 98 trans am ls1, and noticed my one fuel line that's rite beside my fuel filter is like twisted and crushed together almost flat.
I attached a picture and you can see where it goes into that 3 way connector it's the middle line obviously.

So does anyone know what it does and if it matters much to replace it as the car runs great and hasn't had a problem in the last 1000miles of just owning it )

I disconnected it earlier and fuel came out sooo definetly not a brake line... And I have constant 60psi fuel pressure at the rail... Also the crushed line looks like it goes to the top of my gas tank (That area at least) So if it's my return line is it being crushed gonna hurt anything?
