2007 v star 1300 gas tank removal?

[Geobob]

There is a second line off the rear of the tank. I assume it is a vent line and can just be removed without fear of fuel draining out everywhere.

 

Can anyone confirm this.

 

The fuel line appears to have a petcock that can be turned off so it make sense that the rear line is just a vent since there is no valve.

I have the VSTAR950. Similar. Fuel injected.
