Need help finding where a hose connects

I bought a car with the manifold removed. Now I am trying to piece it back together. I think I have everything figured out, but I cant figure out where this hose belongs.

2009 mini cooper non s

Where do i belong?


The hose that stretches along the bottom of the picture, then up into the cluster of hard hoses.

Is it a fuel line that connects to here?
For some reason another line was run with the same bracket attached to the middle. One line was connected up top, but not at the bottom, the other line was connected at the bottom, but not up top.

So, I removed one of the lines and connected the other. I hope this is right. I cant see it being for anything else. If someone sees an issue with this, let me know before I fire it up please lol

Back to square 1 because I realized the line that runs from the bottom of the car goes to the fuel rail, not into that cluster of hard lines

Where does the hose/line in the first pic originate? It looks very similar to the connection that goes to the fuel rail on my wife's 2013 Justa, but hers is the N16, and I think yours is the N12.

Edited: So, you did find that the line in the first pic goes to the fuel rail. What other lines are without places to go?

I did figure out the one goes to the fuel rail, now I have this one,that seems to me like it comes from the brake booster, but cant find where it may connect.

Or was some randomline attached to where this vacuum line is supposed to go? This seems more proper to me.

Yes, your last pic looks correct. Goes to the line into the firewall, other end to the vacuum pump on my wife's N16.
