Fuel tank vent is one that is chewed up. I assume it flopped over to the clutch.

Is this where they are supposed to run?

Thanks. Sorry for newb questions while I learn this sled.

No. Both should go behind the aluminum strut/brace and end up down near the oil filter. From your pic, it looks like they are routed into the belly pan below the belt. Not right.
 
My coolant vent line ran down towards the belly pan, but never made it that far. My fuel vent line sat right under the exhaust manifold and melted (thank god for that find). I ended up buying replacement hose from Kimpex (P/N 907312) and rerouting how the lines went - basically up and over the engine and down to the belly pan (with a little extra left over). After running that last season, there is no evidence of anything that vented into the belly pan when I pulled it apart for an oil change this fall. Well worth the $70 to prevent a fire or other damage and I still have hose left over for other uses around the house or at work.
